6.7.2.4 Managing User Texts Whose Language Font is Not Installed
You can export user texts whose language font is not installed in your operating system, have them
translated and then import them back in and save them for use in your project.
However, such texts can only be displayed on a computer that has the appropriate language font
installed on it.
For example, if you have user texts that have to be translated into Russian and do not have a
Cyrillic font installed on you operating system, proceed as follows:
1. Export the user text to be translated with the source language "English" and target language
"Russian".
2. Send the export files to the translator, who will definitely have a Cyrillic font available.
3. Import the translated export files.
Result: The project is now available in English and Russian on you computer.
4. Save the whole project and send it to the customer who will use the Russian texts and will thus
have a Cyrillic font available to display them.
