Import a legacy translation file into the Translation Table

Due to changes in how the Translation Table works, legacy translation files are not compatible with the latest version of this software. Use the Translation Table worksheet to import a legacy translation file into your project, rather than manually reenter the information from that file.

Before you begin this task, you must have a legacy translation file (that is, a .tra or .csv file) that was created by an earlier version of this software. You should be able to find the file in the old project folder.

To import a legacy translation file and add it to the current translation:

1. Open the Translation Table worksheet by doing one of the following:

   • On the Insert tab of the ribbon, in the Global group, click Translation; or

   • In the Global tab of the Project Explorer, double-click Translation.

   The Translation Table worksheet is opened for editing.

2. Make sure the Enable Translation option is selected.

   If this option is cleared, then the entire Translation Table worksheet is disabled and the language cannot be changed during run time.

3. In the Translation Table worksheet, click Import.

   A standard Open dialog box is displayed.

4. Locate and select the legacy translation file (.tra or .csv format), and then click Open.

The legacy translation file is imported and added to the current translation.
