Translator

The WinCC OA Translator functionality supports you in creating and maintaining multilingual projects. It offers a convenient interface for translation of reusable terms.

The translator offers you many advantages, for example when creating a new project. You can create and configure a project in English or another desired language. With the aid of the translator, you then translate the created panels, translatable elements of data points and CNS nodes of your whole project quickly and easily into German or any other desired language.

The translator offers greater flexibility as the translations are retrieved at runtime instead of being stored in the panel itself.

Translation files are created and updated with the Translator Panel.

Information on specific details can be found in Translator Details.

A short example can be found in Translator - Example panel translation.

The Translator uses the Qt Linguist function, the dedicated documentation of which can be found here.
