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 (1159 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: (51)	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........

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

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
