Landis & Staefa Division Function XX 2-359
2.36 XX Change Active Language
In VISONIK there are two meanings for "Language".
–
Message language
–
Working language
The "Message Language" is defined individually for each 'message channel'.
All spontaneous messages
(e.g. Events, limit violations, etc.) are output to such
terminals in the relative message language, irrespective if a user is logged-in or not.
"Working Language" is defined for each operator in their related Function "KEY" entries.
In multi-language projects, when a user logs in, VISONIK DCS automatically switches to
that language (0..2) as specified in "KEY".
A user can operate
all dialogues in his selected language
.
At any time an operator can
temporarily
change over to another language.
Such a changeover remains active until the language is changed again with "XX" or the
user logs off from the system.
