Movicon 11 SCADA: Multi Language

    Another important topic in the Movicon 11.6 SCADA that I consider is "How To Add Multi Language?". Movicon 11 SCADA provides very simple use of multi language( and useful too). I am going to make an example project that will consist of three language choices(English-EN, Italian-IT, Turkish-TR). I strongly recommend to use "String Table". It gains you to manage texts in many parts of project easily, in besides that the project make multi language. If you want to change the name of an object in the project, you can easily change from string table. If we look at the "multi language" in the another way, you can find the multi language concept(and for more information) in the NB Panel.(NB Panel: How To Make A Project Multi Language?) Some significant properties of the Movicon 11 multi language can be listed below;

• Editor available in 7 different languages
• Project language switching via easy to use strings
• Switch between languages in Edit & Run-time 

    The first step is to open Language section with double click. String table will be displayed after clicking Language. Below Figure 1 you can see the first step. I added some strings according to the three languages.

    Second step can be seen from Figure 2. Below figure shows you how to add "Command On Click"to the object. If you follow green colored numbers, you can add change languages buttons.

    Finally, last step is to assign the string id to the object title. When you change the language you will see the object title will change, too. Below Figure 3, it is shown how to add string id to the object title.

Friendly Reminder:  If you need to watch educational video for "Multi Language", I would like to prepare a YouTube video for this. In addition to that sample project and Movicon Multi Language document can be found from here.
