Library – Tag	Yes Library – Tag: Yes The Label Tag Library feature enables a multi-language environment. When multiple languages are required, users can create the Label Tag Library and then select a suitable label in the project. The project will display the corresponding language in runtime based on the settings. EBPro supports up to 24 different languages simultaneously. The Address Tag Library feature is recommended to define the commonly used addresses in Address Tag Library when starting to build a project. It not only avoids accidental reuse of addresses but also improves project readability.	Yes Library – Tag: Yes The Label Tag Library feature enables a multi-language environment.
