4-7 Creating Multi-language Labels
CX-Designer multi-language displays use Unicode for the character informa-
tion displayed in a screen. This enables switching the screen between differ-
ent languages, such as Japanese, English, and Chinese, for display and
setting.
The CX-Designer also has functions to export functional object label strings to
CSV files and import label strings from CSV files, called the CSV import/
export functions.
These functions can be used to edit and set label strings in multiple lan-
guages, such as Japanese, English, and Chinese, making it easy to create
multi-language screens.
An operating system that supports Unicode (Windows 2000, XP, or Vista) is
required to use multi-language labels.
