Configuring the Language Sets (TD 200, TD 200C, and TD400C)

Configuring the Language Sets for the TD Device (TD 200, TD 200C, TD400C)
The Text Display wizard allows you to configure multiple language sets for your TD device,
including not only the system prompts or messages, but also for the user alarms, user
menus, and screens. The Text Display wizard copies the user alarms and user screens that
you have configured into the language set. You must manually enter the translated text for
each alarm, menu, or screen.
For each language set, you select the following information:
● Language for the system prompts
● Character set
● Identifier
You also select which of the language sets is the primary language for the TD device.

Tip
When you create multiple language sets, the Text Display wizard copies the user alarms,
menus, and screens from the primary language set to the other language set. You then edit
the alarms, menus, and screens to translate the text displayed for the new language set.
If you need to modify the screens or messages (such as to add a new variable or to add a
new alarm), you must edit the primary language. The Text Display wizard copies these
changes to the other language sets.
The Text Display wizard only allows you to change the text in the other language sets.
After you have configured the alarms and screens for one language set, you can add a new
language set:
1. Click the icon to start configuring the language sets for the TD device.
2. Add a new language by selecting New Language Set.
3. Select an existing language set to be the source for the new language set.
