Language switching in the Automatic Diagnostic Event Summary

You can use language switching to view user-defined text strings in multiple languages in
FactoryTalk View
 SE client applications. This includes the Automatic Diagnostic Event Summary when an Automatic Diagnostic Event Summary object is part of the
FactoryTalk View
 SE application.
Language switching is configured when you develop the application.
For more information about language switching, see the
FactoryTalk View
 Site Edition Help in
FactoryTalk View Studio
.
Language switching at runtime
At runtime,
FactoryTalk View
 SE clients can switch between any of the languages the application supports. In a network station application or network distributed application, multiple clients can also run in different languages at the same time.
Diagnostic event contents are already translated by Rockwell Automation in eight languages. When the Automatic Diagnostic Event Summary is notified of a language switch, the contents of the Automatic Diagnostic Event Summary will show in the specified language. If the language requested is not available at runtime,
FactoryTalk View
 SE clients use the default language.
IMPORTANT:
  • The time and date formats do not switch. The Alarm and Event objects in
    FactoryTalk View
     always show the date/time format of the operating system.
  • Text labels for event states do not currently switch languages.
