Changing user messages to Korean Language

[Waveshredder]

I have been unsuccessful with NI recommendations to export/translate/import front panel strings to the Korean language.

NI: "To localize your front panel, you need to internationalize your code, extract the VI strings into a text file, translate this text file, and import the localized VI strings into the VI.l"

The exported text file must be saved after translation using UNICODE or the Korean Text does not get saved.

Importing this text file back to the VI results in a labview error.

I have seen all the examples for European language changes, but this is not relevant for the Korean language.

Question: Can Labview support Korean Language for User dialogs messages (Everything else in English)? Example please.

Using Labview 6.1 and Windows 2000.

If there is a codepage that supports Korean language you might try setting your computer to that before translating the file. Then, you would save in ANSI format.

If the dialog messages are static, you might try making an image of your message and pasting that onto the dialog front panel.

You may also embed an internet explorer window in your dialog and display the message as an html file by using ActiveX.

It appears that the codepage on windows for Korean language is 949.

0×0412

Korean (Korea)

ko-KR

Hang;Hani

949

You can set the local to that, restart LabVIEW and export the strings. Edit and save the file in ANSI format and then test the result after import of strings.
All the computers that run the application will have to use this codepage, so this might be accomplished by a login preference.

I have done this with Japanese on LabVIEW 6.1 and it worked OK and I don't recall having to change the codepage. I believe the Japanese encoding was shift JIS

My understanding is that LabVIEW supports multibyte internationalization and not 16 bit unicode so everything might work out easier
on a Linux LabVIEW or doing everything in HTML.
