How to localize button labels of a genuine NI VI?

Some days ago I asked how to manage the translation of button labels of the
genuine "file dialog VI" from NI (i.e. German label "Wahlen"-> English label
"Select", German label "Abbruch"->English label "Cancel" etc.) for the
finished application (I need to have a german and an English version).

Someone suggested to select English from the Windows country selection and
someone else suggested to use the string export/import function.

However, nothing succeeded so far.

I even bought WIN 2000 in English, since I thought LV perhaps refers to some
standard/library Windows labelling names during compilation.

Regarding the string export/import function: This should work if one is able
to get into the VI, but with the genuine "
file dialog VI" from NI I cannot
enter the VI.

Do I really have to program my own VI for such a simple localizing thing?

So far, heavily disappointed....

Thanks

Klaus

Klaus,

Sorry to hear about your problems. Have you tried contacting NI about this? They are usually very good about supporting issues such as this.

I am going to try a few things for you to see if I can help. If I don't post a followup, assume I had no luck. If you go to ni.com/ask you can start a formal support question. The NI tech support guys will help you fairly quickly (usually within a day or less!)

Good luck.
