Language Management

17 Language Management

iX Developer supports multilingual applications. Translation of texts and system texts can be performed directly in the application, or via export to a text file to be translated in other software. The file is imported to the application after translation.

The application language can be changed in runtime, for example based on a tag value.

17.1 Setting Up Multiple Languages

The multiple languages function is included in the application by default and is located in the Functions folder in the Project Explorer.

The multiple languages configuration pages consist of the Texts, System Texts and Languages tabs.

17.1.1

Adding Languages

1. Click on the

Multiple Languages

function to open its configuration pages.

2. Select the

Languages

tab.

3. Add languages by selecting them from the drop-down list.

The

Use in Runtime

setting makes the language available in runtime. Under

Keyboard Layout

, it is possible to select different layouts for the virtual keyboard, used for alphanumerical input in runtime.

Each added language is assigned an index number. Index number 0 is reserved for the default language (the language that the application was first created in).

The

Add

and

Delete

buttons can be used to add and delete languages.
