Internationalization
With zenon, your projects can be created for worldwide
use from the start. You have flexibility over the language
in which your projects can be executed and you define the
units that are used to display values. Just configure your
project and use it any time, in any language and with any
units desired. You work efficiently and quickly and optimize
your time to market.
