Translate project
See also: 'Editing of the translation file'
Create translation file
This command in the 'Project' 'Translate into another language' menu leads to the 'Create translation
file' dialog.
Dialog for creating a translation file
In the Translation file field, enter a path that shows where the file is to be stored. The default file
extension is *.tlt; this is a text file. You also can use the extension *.txt, which is recommended, if you
want to work on the file in EXCEL or WORD, because in this case the data are organized in table
format.
If there already exists a translation file which you want to process, give the path of this file or use the
Search button to reach the standard Windows file selection dialog.
The following information from the project can optionally be passed to the translation file that is being
modified or created, so that they will be available for translation: Names (names, e.g. the title 'POUs'
in Object Organizer), Identifiers, Strings, Comments, Visualisation texts. In addition, Position
information for these project elements can be transferred.
If the corresponding options are checked, the information from the current project will be exported as
language symbols into a newly created translation file or added to an already existing one. If the
respective option is not selected, information belonging to the pertinent category, regardless of which
project it came from, will be deleted from the translation file.
The "Text" and "Tooltip-Text" elements in the visualization elements are considered here to be
visualization texts.
Note:
For visualization texts (‚Text' and ‚Text for Tooltip' in the visualization elements) it must be noted that
they must be bracketed by two "#" symbols in the configuration dialog of the visualization element
(e.g. #text#) in order to be transferred to the translation file. (See in this connection Visualization).
These texts are also not translated with the command 'Project' 'Translate into other languages' !
A language change for the visualization can only occur in Online mode if the corresponding language
is entered in the 'Extras' 'Settings' dialog.
Position information: This describes with the specifications file path, POU and line the position of the
language symbol made available for translation. Three options are available for selection:
'None':
No position information is generated.
