Create a localization dictionary

Create a localization dictionary to display application content in the language where the user is located. The localization dictionary contains all of the translated strings in the different languages. You can then select a language to display for the application at both design time and runtime.
NOTE: When a localization dictionary exists for your project, it impacts all variables with
LocalizedText
  data type. When you enter a value for a variable which value data type is
LocalizedText
, a suggestion box displays containing possible matches to the key you entered. You can select a suggestion and confirm with ENTER, or you can press ESC to close the suggestion box, and press ENTER to insert the text you entered as-is.
If you create a project in
FactoryTalk Optix Studio
 using a standard template, the
Translations
 folder contains a localization dictionary by default.
  • In
    Project view
    , right-click
    Translations
     and then select
    New
    LocalizationDictionary
    .
The
LocalicationDictionary#
 appears in the
Translations
 folder.
