Export
Exporting is done for all blocks and symbol tables located under the selected object. An export file
is created for each text type. This file contains a column for the source language and a column for
the target language. Text in the source language must not be changed.
Import
During import, the contents of the target-language columns (right-hand column) are integrated into
the project to which the selected object belongs. Only those translations whose source text
(exported text) matches an existing text in the "Source Language column are accepted.
Note
When you import the translated texts, these texts are replaced in the entire project. If, for example,
you have translated texts belonging to a certain CPU and these texts occur at other places in the
project, all the occurrences in the project will be replaced.
Changing Languages
When changing languages, you can choose from all the languages that were specified during
import into the selected project. The language change for "Title and Comments" is only applied to
the selected object. A language change for "Display Texts" is always applied to the complete
project.
Deleting a Language
When a language is deleted all the texts in this language are deleted from the internal database.
One language should always be available as a reference language in your project. This can, for
example, be your local language. This language should not be deleted. During exporting and
importing always specify this reference language as the source language. The target language can
be set as desired.
Reorganize
During reorganization, the language is changed to the language currently set. The currently set
language is the language that you selected as the "Language for future blocks". Reorganization
only affects titles and comments.
Comment Management
You can specify how comments for blocks should be managed in projects with texts being
managed in many languages.
