Language File Notes


Creating a Language File

Start with either the English.txt or German.txt file for translation.

Don't change the letters in the square braces, for example: [Main]. These are used to identify sections.

Don't change any of the strings to the left of the equals sign, for example: New Configuration=. These are used for keys to lookup the new string.

Add your language equivalent string to the right of the equals sign, for example: New Configuration=Neue Konfiguration

If you leave the right side of the equals sign blank, it will use the string to the left of the equals sign by default.

When you are done, save your file with a .txt extension, for example "German.txt" or "Spanish.txt".


Using a Language File

Copy the .txt file that you created to your C:\Program Files\OPCDataLogger subdirectory.

Edit the OPCDataLogger.ini file in the same subdirectory. Add the line Language=German (or the name of your language) to the [Setup] section. For example:

[Setup]
Config File Name=
Language=German



You must be using version 1.70 or later for the language .txt files to work.
