Abstract
An operator interface system with respect to an industrial automation device comprises text/symbol translation strings persisted in a computer-readable medium for utilization with the operator interface system. An interface component relays the translation strings to a client device that includes fonts that enables the client device to graphically render text/symbols abstracted by the translation strings in a desired language. For example, the translation strings can be Unicode strings.
Claims20
A device, comprising:
- a memory to store computer-executable instructions;
- and
- a processor that facilitates execution of the computer-executable instructions to at least:
- access a Unicode translation string stored in a memory of an industrial device,
- receive instructions from the industrial device for obtaining software to enable translation of the Unicode translation string;
- obtain and install the software on the device;
- access a font supported by the software to facilitate a translation of the Unicode translation string, and
- utilize the font to facilitate a display of an operator interface based on the Unicode translation string.
A method, comprising:
- accessing, by a device comprising a processing device, a Unicode string stored in a first memory of an industrial device;
- receiving, by the device, instructions from the industrial device for obtaining software to enable translation of the Unicode string;
- obtaining and installing, by the device, the software on the device;
- accessing, by the device, a font supported by the software to facilitate a translation of the Unicode string;
- and
- displaying, by the device, an operator interface for the industrial device utilizing the font to facilitate the translation of the Unicode string.
A non-transitory computer-readable medium having instructions stored thereon that, in response to execution by a system comprising a processor, facilitate performance of operations, comprising:
- accessing a Unicode string stored in a memory of an industrial device;
- receiving instructions from the industrial device for obtaining software to enable translation of the Unicode string;
- obtaining and installing the software on the device;
- selecting a font supported by the software to facilitate a translation of the Unicode string;
- and
- displaying an operator interface for the industrial device utilizing the font to facilitate the translation of the Unicode string.
