Using multilingual texts

In the client interface editor, you are also importing texts that can be displayed in different
languages with the OPC UA XML files (information models). Multilingualism is optional, and
each node can be defined differently regarding the languages it offers.
In the XML file, these are the following fields that can be prepared for different languages:
• Display name
• Description
Example for multilingual texts in an OPC UA XML file
In the XML file below, the display name and the description, for example, are entered with a
"default" text and multiple localizable texts.
• Default text is the first entry without localization information.
• Localized text is the text after "Locale=" followed by a language code, e.g. "it-IT" for Italian
