Create a localization dictionary
Create a localization dictionary to display application content in the language where the user is located. The localization dictionary contains all of the translated strings in the different languages. You can then select a language to display for the application at both design time and runtime.
Note: When a localization dictionary exists for your project, it impacts all variables with LocalizedText data type. When you enter a value for a variable which value data type is LocalizedText, a suggestion box displays containing possible matches to the key you entered. You can select a suggestion and confirm with ENTER, or you can press ESC to close the suggestion box, and press ENTER to insert the text you entered as-is.
If you create a project in FactoryTalk Optix Studio using a standard template, the Translations folder contains a localization dictionary by default.
- In Project view, right-click Translations and then select New.
