Hello Dean,
LabWindows/CVI includes a UIR Localizer which should help you in your development. In particular, the localizer utility is located in CVI under Tools >> User Interface Localizer.
A section of the help documentation for this utility is as follows:
"This utility allows you to create a language resource file (*.lwl), which you can use with LoadLocalizedPanel
to translate a uir file. When you load a uir or tui file, you will see a tree populated with all the strings of the
UI objects in the file. For each string, the utility maintains a default and a local string. The strings stored in
the uir or tui file are said to be in the default language. When you highlight one of the string items in the tree,
you will see the default language string, if there is one, in the 'Default Language' textbox. Enter the local
language string in the 'Local Language' textbox. When you have finished translating all the strings, choose
'Export Language' in the file menu to create the language resource file."
Also, there are some further changes you may need to make based on the language of your OS and installed fonts, as documented in the following
KnowledgeBase. Also, the following
Application Note details the considerations you need to make when programming for multibyte languages.
Hope that helps.
