SIMATIC WinCC Open Architecture Forum

Hi!

Just comment that, as a non German speaker, I wondered how to change GEDI language to English.

This question is already answered at the FAQ "How can I change the language of the GEDI?" at BUT... at least with version 3.14 of WinCC OA, use the modifier en_US.utf8 instead of en_US.iso88591

That is: -lang en_US.utf8

I added this modifier, also, to the launchers for startPA and startConsole (under Open Suse tumbleWeed, where I was testing), and works fine.

Just in case anybody encounters same problem.

Every manager starts with the active language defined in the config file, if no commandline option given, that is.
In the config you can globally (for the whole project) define the default language:
lang = "..."
If that's not given, the first of the langs entries is used.
To accomodate for different users, you can use the special string "auto" in lang:
lang = "auto"
This makes one of the project languages the active language by checking your user environment (e.g. LC_MESSAGES on Linux)
and tries to find a match.

Thank you!

That will be very helpful!

Auto does not work on English OpenSUSE

Can you give more details, please:
- If you started gedi from the WinCC_OA console, which itself was started via the startmenu,
what gives "locale" from a shell also started inside your current desktop session ?
- what languages do you have in your project config file ?

Thanks !!!
