1.4. Fluent Graphical User Interface Other Languages

You can have the Fluent graphical user interface appear in Japanese, Korean, or Chinese, by defining the appropriate environment variable before launching Fluent (you can define it in the Environment tab of the Fluent Launcher).

These are the environment variables for each language:

  • lang=ja for Japanese

  • lang=ko for Korean

  • lang=zh for Chinese

Limitations for Localization

Some areas of the Fluent 2024 R2 GUI are not completely translated including:

  • Drop-down menu/list items

  • Quick search results

  • Pop up messages

  • Graphics window titles and labels

  • Object names (boundary conditions, graphics objects, and so on)

  • Interface (GUI labels) for items without meaningful Japanese/Chinese/Korean equivalents, such as X, Y, Z, Cp, OK, and so on

  • The Console

Important:  Localization of the Fluent workspaces is a Beta-level exposure, meaning that it has not been fully tested or validated. The workspaces include Aero, Icing, Material Processing, and Post-Analysis (which is itself Beta level).
