How to translate language in subVI

[gongchao8295]

Hi: 

I am working in a German company and currently using LabVIEW program to communicate with laser system. I have some VIs sent by my colleague. However, the context help file is opened in German. I am wondering if there is any way you can easily switch it into English? 

Thanks for the help.

Hi gongchao,

any way you can easily switch it into English? 

Deinstall German LabVIEW edition, install an English LabVIEW edition.

To avoid any other problems you should install the same version and bitness as is installed right now.

Or use the English online help (like this).

Thanks for the reply. Maybe I didn't explain myself clearly. I have installed an English LabView edition. There is no problem for writing and reading VIs in English. But I currently have the packed project library from my German colleague. But after opening the VI, I found the front panel is written in German as well as the context help for the included subVIs. My question is, is there an easy setup that can switch German to English. Thanks

Hi GongChao,

No, both are "comments", written by the programmer of those VIs/lvlib.

You have to translate them on your own. Or ask your colleague to do that. Or use any translator service on the web you like (and trust)…

Understood, thanks a lot.

Hallo GongChao,

Deutsch ist doch eine so schöne Sprache - warum willst du die Arbeit deines Kollegen ins Englische übersetzen?
