Introducing FactoryTalk View Translation
Utility
About FactoryTalk View Translation Utility
FactoryTalk View can display information in multiple languages. There are two ways to
translate the text strings that will be seen by users. After exporting a file of text strings in
the application, you can:

Use traditional translation methods (human translators or machine translation), then
import the translated text into FactoryTalk View by using a formatted Excel (.xls) or
Unicode text file.

Install and use the FactoryTalk View Translation Utility. The Utility translates cells
containing **UNDEFINED** in an exported text string file.
The translation utility translates text from an exported Excel (.xls) file of text strings used
in the FTView application.
FactoryTalk View Translation Utility uses Microsoft's Bing translation service and
requires an Internet connection. Bing provides a literal translation, which makes some
compensation for the grammatical rules and idioms of the target language. You can also
include a custom dictionary of terms that may not be translated by Bing.
Note: FactoryTalk View Translation Utility, FTView Translation Utility and Translation
Utility are used interchangeably in this document.
