This section shows how to translate the text for an application in
Excel rather than in PanelBuilder. This may be helpful if the
individual translating the text is not familiar with PanelBuilder
software or PanelView terminals. Translating the application text
outside of PanelBuilder simplifies the translation process.
The procedures that follow assume that the application was
developed in the default PanelBuilder language. After following the
procedures, the memory card containing the font file can be inserted
in the terminal and the application downloaded to the terminal.
To select/copy the text to translate:
1. Open PanelBuilder.
2. Open the Text Editor by choosing Text Editor from the
Application menu.
3. Purge all text not used by the application.
•
Click the Select All button.
•
Click the Purge button.
4. Click Select All again to select all the text to translate.
5. Copy the text to the clipboard.
•
Click the right mouse button.
•
Choose Copy from the popup menu.
To paste/select the text in Excel:
1. Without closing PanelBuilder, open Excel.
2. Paste the text into the Excel spreadsheet.
3. Translate the text.
To copy the translated text into PanelBuilder:
