Exporting application text strings
To create a file of text strings for translation, you must export the text strings used by an
application.
The steps required to create the file are:

Select languages for translation

Export the file to be translated
Select languages for translation
This procedure creates an Excel file that sets up a column for each new language and the
**UNDEFINED** notation in each cell. The translation utility then translates only cells
containing **UNDEFINED**.
Before exporting text in an application, ensure that all the HMI project components
containing text to be exported are not in use. If project components are being modified
remotely, and they have not been saved, the exported file might not contain the unsaved
changes.
