Text strings you cannot view in different languages

In applications that support multiple languages, some text strings will not be able to
switch languages at run time.

Exported text that does not support language switching

If you export text strings for a single application language to a Unicode text file, the
caption property of any third-party ActiveX objects will be exported. However, even if
these strings are translated, they cannot be viewed in different languages at run time.

Text that cannot be exported

The following user-defined text strings are visible at run time, but cannot be exported for
translation:

Command strings, including those you type for the Remark command

The text of HMI tag alarm messages

Headings in an HMI tag alarm summary

Alarm Fault List messages shown in FactoryTalk Alarm and Event summaries,
banners, and log viewers

String constants in expressions, and in all components that use expressions

For example, you might use string constants in expressions if an application displays
different strings in a string display object, based on the result of an expression.
