How to make i18n GUI in CVI 2013?

[lzhou]

Listmates,

I need to make my user interface internationalized so that it could be viewed in other countries.

However, I can only find very limitted APIs in LabWindows/CVI 2013 that allows formatting date and time according to country locations.

I wonder if CVI provides general APIs that allow developers to render text literals in different languages at runtime when a language is configured before application launch or selected at runtime.

Anyone who has an answer on CVI internationalization perspective please let me konw.

Thanks in advance,

Lee

Hello Lee!

LabWindows/CVI functions and UI controls support multibyte character sets, which you can use to display text into multiple languages, depending on your locale configuration.

Here are a few resources on how you can get started:

• Does LabWindows™/CVI™ Support Multibyte Languages?
• Can LabWindows™/CVI™ Display Multi-Byte Foreign Languages on the User Interface?
• Creating and Shipping a Localized Application Using LabWindows/CVI
• Programming for Multibyte Character Sets in NI LabWindows™/CVI™

Best regards!

Hi Johannes_T,

My purpose is to create a word document at runtime.  The context of the word document can be in English, French, or Germany.  In Web application, I can use xml file to sepcify name-value pairs in unicode, but I don't know how to do similar things in CVI.  Please help!

Thanks,

Lee
