Is it possible to make multi-lingual screens in 1 project?

Is it possible to make multi-lingual screens in 1 project? If so, can the language be switched by touchscreen operation?

A

Yes, it is possible. You will need to use the String resource. The String resource is a read only string that can be used on all screens. It can be displayed by linking to Parts such as Labels. Multiple strings can be registered to 1 "String ID". Which string will be displayed will depend on the current string mode.

Example:

String ID String Resource Set A String Resource Set B
STR00001 RUN EJECUTAR
STR00002 STOP DETENER

When the String mode is set to "String Resource Set A", Parts linked to STR00001 will display "RUN".

String Mode will depend on the [String Resource Set ID] set to [STRMODE]. In the example above, the String Resource Set A ID is "STM00001", whereas for the String Resource Set B, the ID is "STM00002".

Therefore, when the value of [STRMODE] is "STM00001", "RUN" is displayed, and if the environmental variable [STRMODE] is changed to "STM00002" by Action such as "String Copy", then "STOP" is displayed.
