# How to localize

AlignPlus provides Chinese and Korean language localization for HMI, user just needs to select the language on the top bar of the main GUI. Here is an example of default Chinese and Korean localization results.

- Chinese

- Korean

Notice that, not all items are translated. However, in case where a particular item needs to be changed to a different name to make it more meaningful in a specific application, user can utilize Localization function to rename it. Localization function can be found in "System" category in edit mode. Double click it to open the edit window.

Localization maintains one table of tag names, default names, and translated names for each language type. Filter here can be used to search specific tags using keywords; Language is the target language that one would like to translate into. Column Tag Name lists names of tags used for localization. Column Default String lists default names of localization tags shown on HMI when English is chosen. Column Translation lists the translated names of localization tags for the current selected language.

Here is an example to rename feature finders:

In this project, "Features0" and "Features1" are not meaningful to users, instead, specific part name such as "Pol" or "Panel" makes more sense. Therefore, you can translate "Features0" and "Features1" to "Pol" and "Panel" .

After the translation, on run time HMI you will find that the former "Features0" and "Features1" have been replaced with "Pol" or "Panel".
