Object ‘GlobalTextList’

Symbol:

This object is for the management and translation of texts that are written as static text in visualizations in the project. It contains a table with these texts. If you write a text in a visualization in an element under the property Texts, CODESYS automatically adds a line in the table. You cannot write any new text here, you can only edit an existing text.

In addition CODESYS makes the following commands available, in order to consolidate the GlobalTextList:

• Check visualization text IDs
• Update visualization text IDs
• Remove unused text list entries

The object is located in the POUs view and exists once at the most

ID	Unambiguous identifier of the text
Standard	Source text as a character string with one formatting specification at the most, for example Information A: %i possibilities. If no translation is written under a language column , CODESYS uses this text. Double-click in the field in order to edit the text.
The table contains as many language columns as you have added. A language column is named with a language code that you entered when creating the column with the command Insert language.
<Language code>	Name of the language as a language code, for example en-US. This column contains the translation of the text that is written under Standard. If the language code is selected as a language in the visualization manager, a visualization displays the translation during operation. A running visualization can switch over during operation to another language at the request of a user. Double-click in the field in order to edit the text.
