"Languages:Current Language" not supported in this version of labview

[alecjcook]

Hi,

    I am trying to change the lables on the Front Panel of my vi, dependant on what Language version of the LabVIEW Runtime enviroment has been installed.

In order to check what language I am currently using, I tryed the Property Node class "VI" type "Languages:Current Language". At runtime I was told that LabVIEW does not support this...

Is this because I am using LabVIEW Base, or am I missing somthing?

Cheers, Alec

I guess you should use Application.Language instead of VI.Languages. Then you will receive the appropriate string.

Values include en, de, fr, ja, ko, and zh-cn.

Great thinking. Only thing it, my first translation language is Dutch

Unfortunately you will be not able to get Dutch from RunTime, because no Run-Time for this language present (as far as I know)

You can get language ID from OS:

GetSystemDefaultLangID Function

Language Identifier Constants and Strings

Yes, that would do the trick. How would I integrate that command with labview?

Cheers, Alec

Call function from Kernel32.dll:

Take a note, that LabVIEW is non-Unicode, therefore you may get langugae ID, which was set for non-Unicode applications (check advanced settings in control panel)
