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, Alarm 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.
Texts in Visualizations:
The option "Visualisation texts" only concerns 'Text' and 'Tooltip-Text' of a
visualization element. Regard the following items when using a translation file for
visualization texts:
• A *.tlt- or *.txt translation file only can be used with »PLC Designer« or CoDeSys
HMI, not however with Target-Visualization or Web-Visualization. It might be
better to use a special visualization language file *.vis.
• Switching to another language is only possible in online mode. This means that
the visualization texts will not be translated by command' 'Translate into another
language'. A language change can only occur in Online mode if the corresponding
language is entered in the 'Extras' 'Settings' dialog.
• If a *.tlt- or *.txt-file should be used for visualization texts ('Text' and 'Text for
Tooltip'), the texts 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.
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.
'First appearance': The position on which the element first appears is added to the translation file.
'All': All positions on which the corresponding element appears are specified.
If a translation file created earlier is to be edited which already contains more position
information than that currently selected, it will be correspondingly truncated or
deleted, regardless of which project it was generated from.
