6.7.2.1 Types of Multilingual Texts
For export, a separate file will be created for each type of text. This file will have the text type as its
name and the export format as its extension (texttype.format: for example, SymbolComment.CSV
or SymbolComment.XLS). Files that do not satisfy the naming convention cannot be used as
source or target.
The translatable text within a project is divided into the following text types:
Text Type Description
BlockTitle Block title
BlockComment Block comments
NetworkTitle Network title
NetworkComment Network comments
LineComment Line comments in STL
InterfaceComment Var_Section comments (declaration tables in code blocks) and
UDT comments (user-defined data types) and
Data block comments
SymbolComment Symbol comments
S7UserTexts Texts entered by the user which can be output on display devices
S7SystemTextLibrary Texts of system libraries which are integrated into messages can be updated
dynamically during runtime, and displayed on the PG or other display devices
S7UserTextLibrary Texts of user libraries which are integrated into messages can be updated
dynamically during runtime, and displayed on the PG or other display devices
