Text strings that exist in an application, but do not exist in the import file, are not deleted
or modified during the import operation. This lets you import only the text strings that
have been modified.
To import text strings into an application
1. In FactoryTalk View Studio, from the Tools menu, select Languages. This opens the
Language Configuration dialog box.
2. Export text strings currently in the application, to create a backup.
If necessary, you can use the backup to restore text already saved in any application
language, if an error occurs while importing, or if you cancel the import before it is
complete. For details about exporting text, see page 13-11.
3. Click Import. This opens the String Import Export Wizard.
4. Choose to import strings from a Unicode text file into the selected application
language, or from a Microsoft Excel spreadsheet into all application languages
defined in the spreadsheet.
5. Follow the instructions in the String Import Export Wizard.
For details about options in the String Import Export Wizard, click Help.
Troubleshooting import problems
If errors occur during an import operation, or if you cancel the import while it is in
progress, a message is logged to the Diagnostics List and log file.
In addition, import errors are shown in a log file called ImportErrors.txt, which is saved in
the following folder on the local computer:
 (Windows 7 Professional, Windows Vista, Windows Server 2008)
..\Users\Public\Public Documents\RSView Enterprise\Strings
If you are importing strings from a Unicode text file, before you click Import, in the list of
application languages, select the language of the strings you are about to import.
Before importing text into an application, ensure that the HMI project components involved are
not in use. If components are being modified remotely, and the changes are saved after you
import text, the imported text will be overwritten.
If you cancel an import while it is in progress, any text strings changed prior to canceling are not
restored to their original values. To restore text strings as they were originally saved in the
application, import the text from the backup file you created in step 2 of this task.
