Dictionary (Data Representation in the D2000 System)

In the D2000 System application, there is possible to display some data in several languages. The feature is allowed by means of the program Dictionary.
Within the frame of the Dictionary, you can define languages, keywords and texts, which are assigned to individual keywords.

The procedure for defining your Dictionary is very simple. At first, you have to define the languages, which form the table columns (see the dialog box below). Then define the keywords (the column Key) and text (translations).
The keywords will be used for various definitions (e.g. object description, technical units, user tool description, ... - see the list at the end of the topic). According to your language selection, these definitions will be displayed as they are defined for a particular language in the Dictionary.

In the configuration of the user's parameters, you can either define the language for a user, allow them to switch among the defined languages, or enable them to edit the Dictionary.

To open Dictionary:

In the D2000 CNF process, click the item Dictionary from the menu Application settings.
In the D2000 GrEditor, select Dictionary from the menu Configuration D2000 or click the Dictionary button in the toolbar.
Press the shortcut CTRL+L when you define a text in the input field (it is applied for D2000 CNF, D2000 HI, D2000 GrEditor), or click the button placed next to the entry field. Selected text from the field is copied to the filter and may be used as a base for defining a new key. When using the dictionary, the field is highlighted with bright green colour and may use the keyword.

Example of the dictionary configuration in the D2000 System:

Black – the original name,
Blue – a new, nonexistent name,
