Change System Language

Movicon has specific dialog windows which are used to customize texts with.

To ensure that the multilanguage feature is completely supported, Movicon offers a function that has been purposely designed to replace text in the system's windows with customized texts from the string resource. For this to happen, custom text strings must be inserted into the resource and identified by a default "key" ID code, according to the table below. If Movicon detects the presence of these particular identifiers in the project, it will replace the system text with the text contained in the strings resource, according to the language activated.

During the installation phase, Movicon will add the "CustomStringID_UNICODE.csv" file to the public documents folder (i.e. for Windows 7: C:\Users\Public\Documents\Progea\Movicon) within which all the special String ID have been inserted with all the Movicon installation language columns and relating translations with default text. This file is in '.csv' format which is compatible for direct import using the "StringImpExp.exe" tool.

Virtual Keypad for Touch screens

Special ID	Description
_CANCEL_PADTEXT_	Text for CANCEL key
_DELETE_PADTEXT_	Text for DELETE key
_OK_PADTEXT_	Text for ENTER key
_TITLE_PADTEXT_	Text for virtual keyboard title. Movicion for default sets the title with the name of the variable to be modified. When inserting the custom string ID, the variable name will nolonger be displayed.

_LOW_PADTEXT_	Text to replace the "Low limit" string: on numeric pads
_HIGH_PADTEXT_	Text to replace the "High limit" string: on numeric pads.
_CAPSLOCK_PADTEXT_	Text for CAPS LOCK key
_OUTOFRANGE_PADTEXT_	Out of range value error message text. Special chars can be used in the message text to display delimiter values, such as %f, %1, %2. For example, when defining text as "Enter a value between %f and %f", the first %f will be replaced with the minimum value and the second with the maximum value. When using the %f special character, the number will be displayed with a floating point and even though the number is integer, i.e. 100, it will be displayed with 6 zeros like this: 100.000000. To display a number without decimal figures use the %1 and %2 characters or the %.0f character. For instance, if set limits are 0 and 100 the following possibilities can be used: "Enter a value between %f and %f" becomes "Enter a vaue between 0.000000 and 100.000000" "Enter a value between %.0f and %.0f" becomes "Enter a value between 0 and 100" "Enter a value between %1 and %2" becomes "Enter a value between 0 and 100"
_MAXCHAR_PADTEXT_	Test for the maximum character number error message. The %d and %f special characters can be used in the text to display the maximum number of characters. For example, a text defined as "The maximum number of characters allowed is %d".
