Internationalisation

Getting Started with AVEVA E3D

Introduction : Using AVEVA E3D™ Products : Internationalisation

Microsoft produces many localised variants of Windows. AVEVA products are designed to work in English on all of these, though they do not currently support the use of all the local languages. At the time of writing, AVEVA provides limited facilities that vary somewhat between products.

Users of Plant need to enter data (text and names) using their local language and output the same onto deliverables such as drawings, reports etc. In some cases, there is also a need to localise or translate the user interface. The same data are also required in other products such as AVEVA Review.

By default, the project can use any language whose characters are contained within the Latin-1 character set, comprising:


Danish	Dutch	English	Faroese
Finnish	French	Icelandic	Irish
Spanish	German	Norwegian	Portuguese
Swedish	Italian

Plant can also support the following groups of languages:

Far Eastern, comprising:


Japanese	Simplified Chinese
Korean	Traditional Chinese

Latin-2, comprising:


Albanian	Czech	English	German
Hungarian	Polish	Rumanian
Serbo-Croatian	Slovak	Slovene

Latin-Cyrillic, comprising:


Bulgarian	Byelorussian	English
Macedonian	Serbo-Croatian	Ukrainian	Russian

Plant does not support any other character set/language, nor does it support the mixing of any of the above except the mixing of one Far Eastern language with English.

Plant must know if the user is using a non-Latin-1 language in order to display characters correctly on drawings.

To use an alternative character set/language:

•

The user must use an appropriate version of Windows and a suitable keyboard.

•

The user must select the appropriate options from the Windows

, Regional Options.
