application multilingue labview

[imadouino]

Hi,

how i can make an application multilingue in labview?, I want the user to choose his favorite language in the same window, 

I am looking for a tool that allows me to extract the references or the terms that excise on the interface, so translate and replace them on the same interface?

thank youuu for your help .

Hi imadouino,

you will find such tools in the LabVIEW Tools Network using VIPM!

Just a hint. For smaller apps, you even do not need a toolkit to translate GUI text. Keep in mind you should use short descriptive labels for the Block Diagram objects, but use captions instead of labels for the Front Panel! Captions can be changed during runtime, labels cannot.

Of course, you have to program and store the different language text versions. I would advise to use a configuration ini file, so you can even modify it if needed, like adding new languages.

Hi imadouino,

unfortunately my French is rather bad - remember you are writing in the English part of the forum!?

Maybe you should contact S.E.A. to discuss problems with their product!

But how i can to select the all terms automatically of my VI ?

You can use a property of the VI to get references to all UI objects!

can you give me this vi because i have labview in frensh , i dont find this functions

This image is a snippet…

1. That picture is a snippet, it contains the VI too: https://knowledge.ni.com/KnowledgeArticleDetails?id=kA03q000000x2PkCAI&l=en-US Anyway, I also attached the example...
2. "can you give me this vi because i have labview in frensh , i dont find this functions " Well, this is the very strong reason, I always recommend to every non native English speaker (I am also not native) to ONLY install LabVIEW in English! My German colleagues learned this lesson fast: if they ask me to help them at a desktop, I ask them politely to remove the German LabVIEW install and deploy an English one instead 🙂
3. I strongly advice you to take some more training in LabVIEW before trying to program such a more advanced feature as language changes. It requires manipulations with references, property nodes, and configuration files...  

Edit: since you are French, you might consider using the French forum board, so it will be easier for you in your native language to seek for help:

Thank you Blokk for your help,

Regarding the language of labview, it is not me who chose it is the company where I work then it is stronger than me, on the other hand I have an English version at my house.

Thank you very much.
