The symbolic name is the name used in the Micro-PWC system software. The quoted string is the actual
string that appears in various Micro-PWC system configuration and operator windows. The following rules
must be observed when modifying a language string file:
• Only the characters within the quotation marks should be edited. No other portion of
the file should be touched.
• Do not change the order of the entries.
• Do not add or remove quotation marks.
• Do not add or remove lines. (Blank lines may be inserted.)
• Formatting characters such as "%s" and "%d" should not be modified, deleted, re-
ordered or added.
Changes to a string file are not made permanent until the file is saved using the Save option under the
String Files menu (
Section 6.2.2 ).
6.2.2 Save Changes to a Language String File
When modifying a string file using the Open menu item, current changes to the string file are made using
the Save item on the String Files menu.
During the Save operation, the syntax of the file will be checked, ensuring that the symbolic names and the
quoted strings are correctly paired together. If errors are encountered, information about the errors will be
displayed in a pop-up window; line numbers of the lines in error will be included in the error descriptions.
6.2.3 Create a Language Directory
To create a new string file language directory, select String Files > Create Language Directory. A pop-up
window appears which contains a text entry box and prompts you to enter the name of the new language
directory to be created. A new language subdirectory with this name will be created.
Once the directory is created, the default English string files are automatically copied to this directory, and
verified. The quoted strings in these files can then be translated into the desired language using the Open
command.
6.2.4 Verify a Language Directory
Once changes have been made to string files, they must be compiled and verified before the changes take
effect. Normally these actions are performed automatically by the SAVE operation. To verify a language
directory manually, select the sequence String Files > Verify Language Directory. All the files in this lan-
guage directory will be compiled and verified.
When the operation is complete, a Verify Language Directory window will be displayed. At least one line
per string file is included in the list displayed in this window. If no errors are found for a file, the line states
only that the file was verified. If errors are found, a description of the error(s) and the number(s) of the
line(s) containing the error(s) will be included in the list.
6.2.5 Update a Language Directory
When a new Micro-PWC system software release is installed on an existing Micro-PWC system, the new
release may contain entries that are added or changed since the previous release. If user-created lan-
