You can localize a VI by exporting the VI strings into a text file in either XLIFF 2.0 format or the LabVIEW VI string file format, translating the file, and importing it back into the VI.

Your localization text file can contain information to localize the following VI strings:

  • VI window titles and descriptions
  • Object caption and descriptions
  • Free labels
  • Default data such as string, table, path, and array default data
  • Control properties such as listbox item names, table row and column headers, graph plot names, graph cursor names, and graph annotation names
  • Block diagram strings such as free labels and string constants, if you specify it
Note Localized versions of LabVIEW use the same executable as the English version of LabVIEW and are compatible with the English version.
