Convert a Procedure to a Different Language
One of the features of LOCKOUT-PRO
TM
Graphical Procedure Writing Software is the ability to
automatically convert the standard phrases in a LOCKOUT-PRO
TM
procedure from one language to
another.
In this section, a procedure is created in the user’s native language (e.g., English), using the standard
LOCKOUT-PRO
TM
phrases. Using the Convert Procedure Language option, the user converts the file
to another language (e.g., Spanish), which can then be edited, saved and/or printed.
Note: The converted procedure content is saved with the procedure file but the language
has no effect on the language in which the application is running.
To convert a procedure to another language:
1. Create or modify a procedure. See one of the following procedures:
• Start a New Procedure from a Template on page 5-5
• Open an Existing Procedure on page 5-6
2. Using only the standard LOCKOUT-PRO
TM
phrases, complete the selected procedure.
3. Convert the procedure to another language by selecting File>Convert Procedure Language.
4. Select the language into which you want the procedure converted, then click OK.
Note: When the procedure is converted, the application creates a copy of the procedure in
a new tab in the main window and substitutes the text in the existing document with the
converted text for the selected language.
5. In the converted procedure, continue editing the procedure in the new language, if desired.
6. When your modifications are complete, you can:
• Save the file. See Chapter 4: Saving Procedures
• Print the file. See Chapter 4: Printing Procedures, Tags & Labels
