Remove languages
You can also use the Language Configuration dialog box to remove languages. When you
remove a language, all the strings for the language are deleted the next time you save the
application. Save a component deletes strings for the removed language from the
component.
Export application text strings for translation
There are two options for exporting text strings:
 One language at a time, saving the text in a tab-delimited text file in Unicode format.
The file can be translated and then imported back into the application.
 All languages at once, exporting into a single Microsoft Excel spreadsheet. The
strings in the spreadsheet can be translated and then imported back into the
application.
These text strings allow language switching and are exported for translation:
 Display titles for On Top displays (defined in the Display Settings dialog box)
 Text graphic objects
 Captions that you define for graphic objects, including objects in global object
displays
 Alarm, local, and information messages
 Alarm trigger labels
 Embedded time, date, and numeric variables
Undefined strings are exported as undefined strings, regardless of whether you select the
option in the Language Configuration dialog box to show undefined strings using the
default language. That option is used only for showing strings during application
development and at run time. It does not substitute the default language’s strings for
undefined strings in the exported file or spreadsheet.
Export text in Unicode format
When you export text in Unicode format, these text strings are also exported:
 Text descriptions and error messages for the Change Password window. These strings
are exported if you use a password button in your application.
You can translate these strings, but you cannot change their language dynamically at run
time the way you can for graphic object strings.
For the Change Password window, the run-time application will use the strings that are in
the application when the run-time application is created. For example, if the current
