1. A method for configuring a graphical display view of a process plant to utilize multiple languages, the method comprising:
configuring, via a user interface of a computing device executing a graphical configuration application in a configuration environment of the process plant, a multi-language interface object to indicate and control which desired one or more languages of a plurality of languages that the graphical display view, while executing in an operating environment of the process plant, is able to present at a user interface device, the multi-language interface object including a first language parameter of which a first language parameter value is independently changeable in the operating environment to indicate a first desired language, of the plurality of languages, in which fixtures of the graphical display view are to be presented and a second language parameter of which a second language parameter value is independently changeable in the operating environment to indicate a second desired language in which contents of the graphical display view are to be presented; and
downloading, via the graphical configuration application of the configuration environment into the user interface device for execution in the operating environment, the configured multi-language interface object and a configuration of the graphical display view, wherein the configuration of the graphical display view references the first language parameter and the second language parameter of the downloaded multi-language interface object within the operating environment so that the graphical display view, during runtime execution at the user interface device, (i) presents the fixtures of the graphical display view using a first respective language indicated by a first current language parameter value, currently selected in the operating environment, of the first language parameter of the multi-language interface object, (ii) simultaneously presents, in conjunction with the presentation of the fixtures of the graphical display view in the first respective language, the contents of the graphical display view using a second respective language indicated by a second current language parameter value, currently selected in the operating environment, of the second language parameter of the multi-language interface object, and (iii) presents respective, repeatedly updated indications of one or more process values that are generated by one or more control elements while executing in the operating environment to control a process at the process plant.
