Translating device information

There are several description or comment fields throughout Power Operation that you use to create copy for translation purposes. If you type a comment in the following format:

@(XXX) where XXX = the copy that will be translated

The text you enter in the Comment field is added to the default language file, named English.DBF. After the project is compiled, this file is located in ...\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\Schneider Electric\Power Operation\v2022\User\<your project>. English.dbf contains terms that will be translated from English.

To create another language file for translation, set the Citect.ini parameter [Language]LocalLanguage to the specified language, then re-compile. So, for example, if you set this parameter to French, a French.dbf file is created in the project folder when you compile. You can then enter the translated text in the LOCAL field of the file. Repeat this same step for each additional language file you want in this project.

At runtime, the user can choose the DBF file that will be used in the display.
