PV Language Switching

3 posts in this topic

Hello All,

 

I am using the language switch functionality on my PV plus.

Everything seems to be working on my laptop side.  However, when I transfer the program to the PV some of the text strings do not get translated.  They are translated correctly on my Laptop “test” view but something is different when the file is loaded on the actual hardware.  It seems like some of the Chinese characters are just changed to squares on the HMI view.  

Please see the attached PDF and let me know if you have any ideas.

 

1st page is the English

2nd page is the Chinese as viewed from my laptop when running the display in test mode.

3rd page is the Chinese as viewed from the actual HMI screen.

 

Thanks very much

Only suggestion I have is that you might have to update the character set in the firmware on the PV+.

I was able to get it work by changing my fonts to Arial Unicode MS.  Apparently some fonts work better than others for language switching.  Thanks
