Working with strings exported to a Unicode text file
This section contains important information for translators, about the format and schema
of exported Unicode text files.
FactoryTalk View requires that parts of the Unicode text file remain as they were when
exported. To ensure that the text file can be imported successfully, after it has been
modified, give the information in this section to translators.
File name and format
Text strings exported for the selected application language are saved in a text file in
Unicode format.
You can rename the exported file, for example, to distinguish the translated version from
the original. However, to import the text successfully, you must ensure that the file is
saved as tab-delimited text, in Unicode Text format.
