Lenguage Conversion support for LabVIEW Linux

[Dhrubajyoti]

Hi,

Is it possible to switch from one lenguage to another based on user selection on LabVIEW Linux.

The developed code will have option to choose lenguage.. Based on the lenguage selection my application should convert its lenguage.

Is it possible in LabVIEW???

is there any specific function???

Kindly reply

Absolutely.  There are lots of ways to do it.  I see three basic options, though:

1.  Use import/export strings.

2.  Use property nodes to change all the captions and displayed text on your front panel.  This would probably only be a good option for very small applications.

3.  Use a third party tool like this.  This one is way over-priced, in my opinion.  But I thought I recalled seeing other third-party tools.

Oh, and I totally forgot:

I have some free localization tools available on my website.  Go to www.jpotech.com and click on downloads to get the free tools.

These free localization tools were originally published in Dave Ritter's LabVIEW GUI Essentials book back in 2000.  And also publuished in the old LVTR journal.  The tools basically did the import/export strings for you and then extracted and condensed all the text from the resulting file.
