I downloaded a example program from siemens page and after opening attempt i got a massage like in attached picture. For now i solved the problem changing my windows language but it is quite irritating to do so every time i want to open it. Did you have similar problem? I use STEP7 v5.4 SP4. best regards Attachment step7_language.JPG (2106 Downloads)

A subdirectory is called Global. In this directory you find a file called: 'Language' When you delete this file, you can open the project. Best regards, Wizard

VVago Posts: 784 Rating: (53)	Hello, Another solution: 1-Create an empty project using Simatic Manager. 2-Save and close the project. 3-Double click on this project. 4-Copy the folder called "Global" 5-Replace the folder"Global" for any project you can't open it due to language setting with the previous folder"Global"that created in empty project. Best regards........

ogzhnbahadir Posts: 1 Rating: (0)	I did all the things that you have mentioned but ıt does not work for me!! I am using Turkish as display language. Some of my projects have Chinese characters so I am using Chinese for non-unicode characters. But it does not open my projects. When I changed non-unicode characters as Turkish it opens for one time :) It is kidding me!! Is there any real solution? Please help me

Msorich Posts: 661 Rating: (40)	hello there, I faced with projects which were originaly created on PCs with german locale (they have theirUmlauten). So I had similar issue in the past. What I did: I just opened that known 'Language' file and I had replaced its first '0' with '1'. I'm not sure if it fits to you. My Windows is definetely not turkish. Anyway try to play with this file content. Msorich
