In the first text box, I have the word “Pump”. I also added some text boxes to my display. English was “0” and Spanish was “1” (See above picture under runtime settings for priority number). I set the “Events” tab with a command to “Set Language” with the priority number of the language that I wish to use. I then added an invisible button over each flag. I added a couple of flags from the “Graphics” folder in the bottom right corner of the TIA Portal window. I can now build a graphics test page and I call it “LANGUAGE_TEST”. Here, I will enable the “Spanish (Mexico)” language. In the “Runtime settings” tab, select “Language & font” and then I can see any selected projects and enable them. Here, I scroll across and add “Spanish(Mexico)” to my project.Īfter selecting project languages, they are still not available by default. The good news is that automation vendors see this need and have tools in place to accommodate many languages, and today I'll look at the language switching feature that Siemens has in TIA Portal and implement it in my Basic HMI project.įirst, any language to be used can be found in the “Languages & resources” folder by selecting the “Project languages” tab. Thus, the need for multiple languages in the manufacturing environment is necessary for clarity and continuity in operations.

It doesn’t matter where you and I live and work in the world, the native language that we speak, read and write is not always the same native language that the next person does.
