CIMPLICITY Language Mapper window just opened

The CIMPLICITY Language Mapper window opens displaying the project's default file, AlarmTranslation.clm.

The following are automatically entered as keys in AlarmTranslation.clm.

1

Point alarm messages

2

System alarm messages

3

Alarm strings

Note: The alarm manager uses %s to substitute strings into the alarm message. This is changed in a key to  %1, %2, … %n so that a fixed order of substitution parameters can be passed but the actual order they appear in the message can be dictated by the location of the substitution.

This allows for different orders that are dependant on the needs for a specific language.

Caution: Do not change the name or location of the AlarmTranslation.clm file. If you do, before it is restored, the CIMPLICITY Language Mapper will not be able to find the translations. The next time you open the CIMPLICITY Language Mapper window, a new AlarmTranslation.clm will be automatically created and your translation configuration will be lost.
