CHANGING THE LANGUAGE
CRIMSON USER MANUAL - MODULAR CONTROLLER
Up to eight different languages can be defined, each of which can be chosen from a
drop-down list. Crimson will re-configure Windows to use the appropriate Input Method
Editor whenever a complex (ie. Unicode-based) language is being edited. In order to use this
facility, you should ensure that you have the required language support installed by referring
to the appropriate Windows documentation. If you wish to use a Unicode-based language that
is not included in the drop-down list, select Generic Unicode mode instead. You will then be
able to enter any Unicode characters, although you will have to manually select the
appropriate keyboard mode or Input Method Editor.
CHANGING THE LANGUAGE
To configure a key or primitive to change the language displayed by the virtual HMI, select
User Defined mode and enter SetLanguage(n) as the On Pressed property, where n is a
number between 1 and 8, according to the language to be displayed. The display page will be
redrawn in the selected language, with any text for which translations have been entered—
including fixed text, tag labels and tag formatting information—adjusted as appropriate.
Pages that are subsequently displayed will also be drawn in the selected language.
SIMULATING LANGUAGES IN CRIMSON
Simulating languages provides a way to simulate how translated text will be shown in
different languages. Therefore, required space for text fields or primitives containing text can
be adjusted for all languages directly in Crimson. To select the language to display, click
View and Simulate Language... Languages set up earlier via the Select Language buttons are
displayed. Just pick the language and click OK, Crimson will switch all the text displayed in
pages to the selected translation field.
