Define an Unsupported Language

If necessary, you can specify in the language database (LANG.DBF), languages that are not officially supported by Citect SCADA.

The format for specifying a non-supported language needs to follow Windows language and region definitions.

The format for specifying an unsupported language is: <LanguageName>(<RegionName>)

For example,

"Hebrew(Israel)", where the language name is "Hebrew", and the region name is "Israel".

"Chinese (Traditional)(Taiwan)", where the language name is "Chinese (Traditional)", and the region name is "Taiwan".

When an unsupported language is specified in LANG.DBF and is used at login (that is, with the LoginForm(), Login() or UserLogin() Cicode functions), the runtime will display the prompt line "Unsupported language" and display the content in the specified language.

If the specified language is unsupported, some system texts are displayed in English rather than the specified language, such as the SOE message field. It is possible that the system may not be able to determine the character set of a non-Citect SCADA-supported language. In this case, you need to provide their desired character sets by:

Allowable values for <value> are:
