Changing the language (Lexicon Installer)

This step installs one or more text-based lexicon file sets in the host controller. Lexicons provide support for non-English languages. A locale code identifies each lexicon. For example, “fr” identifies the French lexicon and “de” the German lexicon. In some domestic (U.S.) installations, an English lexicon (“en”) is added and configured to globally customize items, such as the property descriptions in Workbench.

The lexicon file(s) to install are in the lexicons folder under your Niagara 4 Sys Home (niagara_home)
Note: The recommendation for Niagara 4 is to skip this step. Instead, make one or more modules of customized lexicons and install them in the next (Select modules) step. Otherwise, issues may occur when using a browser to access of the hosted station. For complete details on working with lexicons and the Lexicon Module Builder, refer to the Niagara Lexicon Guide.
  1. Expand or double-click Platform and double-click the Lexicon Installer.
    Any existing file-based lexicon sets (already installed in that platform) are listed in the view pane.
  2. Click a language code to select it, as shown.
    To install more than one lexicon, hold down the Ctrl key while you click.


  3. Click the Next button and follow the wizard, and click OK.
    The selected lexicon directory or directories are installed in the remote platform. When all files are transferred, an Installation Complete window opens.
