Specify a Language for a User
To display buttons, parts, components, and other items in an operator's native language when collecting data, you can specify the language to use as part of the user's profile. After specifying a user's language, the administrator must provide the translated terms for each of the elements that should appear in the user's native language.
A language is assigned to a user in Security Manger.
Refer to the Security Manager section for further information.
Once it has been updated, when the user next logs in to his/her station, the native language equivalents appear. Items that do not have a translation appear in the default language, flagged with an asterisk.
