Body
The body of the text file starts on line eight, and includes the following fields:
The file is sorted alphabetically by component name, and then numerically by string
reference number.
Each string reference number refers to a different object in the component. In the
preceding example, string reference 1 might refer to a push button in the graphic display
called Pump station.
In the translated text file, the only text that needs to be modified is the text inside the
quotation marks in the string definition column. For example, translated into German, the
file would look like this:
Do not change the entries in the component name column, unless the component was
renamed in the application after the text was exported.
Working with pairs of double quotes
If a text string contains double quotes, the whole string definition must also be enclosed in
double quotes. For example:
Call “Duty Manager"
must be entered in the string file as:
“Call “Duty Manager””
Importing text containing multiple sets of double quotes
If the string definition contains an odd number of double quotes next to each other, they
will be rounded to an even number and each pair will be imported as one double quote.
For example, the string:
Field Component type Component name String reference “String definition”
Example Graphic Display Pump station 1 “Stop motor”
Field Component type Component name String reference “String definition”
Example Graphic Display Pump station 1 “Motor abschalten”
Do not modify the component type or string reference number. The string reference number is
unique to FactoryTalk View. Modifying the component type or string reference number prevents
FactoryTalk View from identifying the object correctly, when you import the text.
