Library – Label	Yes Library – Label: Yes Use the Label Library to create different labels or text for up to 256 different states for one language (96 states if 8 languages are used). Use the Label Library to assign text to objects on their Label tab. Multiple languages can be created for each label with the language displayed determined by system register LW-9134 (language mode). Use a Word Lamp as a message display by assigning a Label Library to the Word Lamp. Changing the value in the register assigned to the Word Lamp will change the message displayed. Our latest version of EBPro now has a translate button built-in. 3rd party translation tools are no longer needed.
