Model language (preferences)
Select the language of the currently open simulation model. Plant Simulation saves this setting to the model file.
When you create a new simulation model, the model language determines:
The names of folders and objects, such as MaterialFlow and Station for English or Materialfluss and Einzelstation for German.
The items of the drop-down lists, such as the names of the distributions (Uniform or Gleich).
The return value of the attributes that correspond to the entries of the drop-down lists, for example Station.RecoveryTimeMode. When you query such an attribute in SimTalk, Plant Simulation returns the value in English, except the model language is German; in the latter case Plant Simulation returns the value in German. For the example Station.RecoveryTimeMode Plant Simulation returns "Wenn Teil eintritt" when the model language is German, "When part enters" for all other model languages.
The contents of the window Show Attributes and Methods. When the model language is German, the window lists the German names of the attributes and methods. For all other model languages the window lists the names in English.
The names, which Auto Complete within the method editor suggests. When the model language is German, the method editor suggests the German names of attributes and methods. For all other model languages it suggests the English names.
When you changes the model language, the user interface language of Plant Simulation will not be changed. The user interface language of Plant Simulation is determined by the operating system of your computer. You can change the user interface language of Plant Simulation with the command line argument -UILanguage, compare Entering Start Options.
