RT Multilingual Support

[venky_in]

Hi,

I am trying to understand the way to develop a multilingual application for the LabVIEW RT Target. RT application will be developed in English using LabVIEW RT and will be distributed in several other languages including Asian languages.

Typically application will read some local language text from the target instrument and will validate the format and values. To do this application should parse the text available in different languages and should manage point and comma decimal separator based on local language convention.

RT has inbuilt support to do these things? Thanks for any input.

Thanks,

Venky

Hi Venky,

Developing multilanguage applications is discussed in this tutorial.  It describes how to localize front panels, run time menus, etc.  It also describes as to what is needed to create multilingual applications.  With regards to your question, LabVIEW does not support inbuilt functions that validate the language as well as parse the text, as described in the tutorial.  I hope this helps.
