Language assignment in language-dependent texts

Language ID in the file name of language-dependent texts
Language-dependent texts are saved in TS files in SINUMERIK Operate. There is a separate
file for each language which is assigned via the language ID in the file name.
● <Name><LanguageID>.ts
● E. g.: oem_alarms_plc_eng.ts
Assignment of the DB2 alarm texts to project languages
In the TIA Portal (in contrast to SINUMERIK Operate), language variants of different countries
are regarded as separate project languages, this means that there are separate entries for e.g.
English (Great Britain), English (Ireland) and English (USA). If you import an alarm file into the
TIA Portal, this will be assigned to all of the relevant activated project languages (or language
variants), depending on the language ID in the file name. For example, if you have activated the
project languages "English (USA)" and "English (Great Britain)" and imported an
oem_alarms_plc_eng.ts file, these alarm texts are mapped to the two project languages.
Availability of languages in SINUMERIK Operate
SINUMERIK Operate has 6 languages (standard languages) installed in the factory state. If you
need additional languages, you can order them separately:
● DVD "Language extension": 6FC5860-0YC40-0YA8
● Software option "Additional languages": 6FC5800-0AN00-0YB0
Storing the active language in the NC block [DB10]
The language that is presently active in SINUMERIK Operate is saved in communication block
NC [DB10] in address DB10.DBB96 as value.
