How to change language in devices
Can we change the language to any other language than English?
Yes, you can add a language to a device by including a custom resource file to the device. Make sure to choose an appropriate character encoding type when you save the resource file since the character encoding type differs from one model to another.
| Model | Character encoding type |
|---|---|
| BioStation | UTF-8 |
| BioStation T2 | UTF-16 |
| FaceStation | UTF-16 |
| X-Station | UTF-16 |
