Setting the Language/Format on Your Computer

The HOBOware user interface has been translated from English into several languages, which are supported by specific formats. For supported languages, please see our hoboware features listing. To change the language displayed in the HOBOware user interface, you must change the language/format settings on your computer as described below.

Notes

  • The supported languages only work with the specific format or country listed above. For example, Portuguese is supported in the Portugal format only and not with Brazil.
  • The HOBOware Help and all related documentation are available in English only.
  • If you are using HOBOnode Manager: The language in use at the time the original HOBO datanode network database was created is the only language that can be used for that database. You cannot switch to another language. If you need to change the locale on the computer that contains your HOBO datanode network database, you must first back up and then move or rename the database before changing the locale on the computer. Then, form a new network to create a database that operates in the new locale.
