Settings in the Language Files

Previous  Chapter  Next

Preliminary note


For translating the arc weld report items there are translation files for each provided language (English, French, Chinese, Japanese, German).

By default the language files are located in the E2 installation path …\Lib\site-packages\cenpylib\languages.


ArcWeldReport_LanguageFilesLocation


In case of customization, the complete languages folder can be copied to a desired path, which is given with the Create command. Otherwise the report takes the default files.


ArcWeldReport_LanguageAlternateLocation


Customer related settings and translation can be done there. Only the desired language file needs to be edited.

Following listed settings are supported to adjust the report. If the items doesn't exist, the defaults form the script will be taken.
