Languages Settings

The Languages Settings dialog manages the two language configurations. Each configuration includes language plus other culture related properties and are known as Configuration 1 and Configuration 2. ClosedShow picture

The following settings are available for each of the two configurations.

  • Project language - The language that you assign to the project. The Project Language is just a label having no operational effect other than it is displayed when selecting a language using the Language animation or the configuration menu. ClosedShow picture
  • Display language - The language used for PcVue configuration menu and dialogs. Selected from one of the languages listed in the topic Language Overview, or [Same as project]. If you choose [Same as project], the software will attempt to select the language, from those that are supported, that is closest to the project language. For example, if the Project Language were French (Belgium) it would select French as the Display Language. If it is unable to determine a language, it will default to English.
