Language Management
Mitsubishi Electric, MA00759F 197
14 Language Management
The configuration tool supports several language applications for the E1000-
series’ operator panels. We advise that the entire application be created in one lan-
guage in the configuration tool. Using the multiple language support function, you
can later easily translate all texts in the application to other languages. Translation can
be performed directly in the configuration tool or the text can exported as a text file
and translated in other software. The translated file is later imported back into the
configuration tool. A maximum of 10 languages can be created for an application.
Each text in the application is allocated an arbitrary index. To optimize the function
and reduce the total number of texts, a text can be used several times in the
application, copied and reused. These texts are linked to the same index.
The application language contains user texts and is linked to a system language that
contains system texts. User texts are those texts that are entered when the project is
created and system texts are those texts that already exist when a new project is
created as well as texts that already exist in the operator panel’s system program.
14.1 Unicode in the Operator Panel
Unicode is a global standard for character encoding where 16-bit values are used to
represent the characters from many of the world’s languages. The E1000-series
operator panels only support Unicode based character sets. The Unicode characters
can be used in projects and/or system texts.
Unicode has built-in support in Microsoft Windows XP and Windows 2000.
The configuration tool uses a Unicode character set to display Unicode characters in
the computer’s dialog boxes.
For E1012 and E1022, see section Unicode in E1012 and E1022.
Note:
Some fonts, especially some Asian fonts, use a lot of memory space. This reduces the
memory size available for the project itself, and has to be taken into consideration
when creating projects that will be translated. The total memory size for a project and
its fonts is 12 MB.
