The spreadsheet provides the following information, for each exported text string:

Server

identifies the name of the HMI server that contains the exported text string.

For network distributed applications, which can contain multiple HMI servers, the
server name format is /<application>/<area>:<HMI server>. For local station
applications, which can contain only one HMI server, the format is
/<application>:<application>.

Component Type

identifies the type of component that contains the text string. The

component type can be either a standard graphic display, or a global object display.

Component Name

indicates the name of the standard display, global object display,

or local message file that contains the text string.

Description

identifies where the text string is used in the standard display, or global

object display.

REF

displays a unique reference number beside the first instance of each text string

with duplicates in the HMI server.

A REF column is shown in the spreadsheet for each application language, only if the
check box, Optimize duplicate text strings, was selected for the export operation.

The <RFC1766 name> column contains the exported text strings. The number of
columns depends on the number of languages in the application, when the strings were
exported.

The column heading is the RFC1766 name for the language of the text strings in that
column. For example, en-US is the RFC1766 name of English (United States).

In FactoryTalk View Studio, in the Language Configuration tool, the Add Language
dialog box provides a list of Windows languages and their RFC1766 names. For
details, see “Adding languages to an application” on page 13-8.

Maintaining the format of the spreadsheet

To ensure that the spreadsheet can be imported successfully, you must preserve parts of
the spreadsheet’s format.

HMI server names in the Server column are case sensitive. Ensure that server names in the
spreadsheet match those in the application. If not, some strings might not be imported.

The first column, containing exported text strings, will be for the default application language,
if one is specified. Columns for all other application languages will follow in alphabetical
order.
