8.1.2 Setting the project language
Introduction
The HMI device supports multilingual projects. You need to configure a corresponding
operator control object which lets you change the language setting on the HMI device during
runtime.
The project always starts with the language set in the previous session.
Requirements
● The relevant project language must be available on the HMI device.
● The language changeover function must be logically linked to a configured operator
control object such as a button.
Selecting a language
You can change project languages at any time. Language-specific objects are immediately
output to the screen in the relevant language when you switch languages.
The following options are available for switching the language:
1. A configured operator control object switches from one project language to the next in a
list.
2. A configured operator control directly sets the desired project language.
Further information on this may be available in your plant documentation.
