Importing Translated Alarm Comments

After translating the strings, you must import the dictionary files for each language to enable run-time language switching for those languages.

After you import the translated alarm comment dictionary files, they are copied into the respective language folders inside the application directory.

Any translated alarm comments for an existing application are overwritten with the contents of the imported files and the application version ($AppVersion) increments by 1.

To import multiple dictionary files from other nodes to support localization of alarm fields from multiple nodes, copy the translated dictionary files from the other nodes into a single directory. Select this directory as the import path. Multiple dictionary files are imported on a single import operation. The InTouch HMI automatically creates the file path based on the language being imported.

To import a translated alarm comment file

1. Start WindowMaker and open the application to import translated dictionary files into.

2. On the File menu, click Configure, and then click Languages.

   The Languages dialog box appears.

3. In the Languages screen, click the Import Alarm tab.

   

4. In the Path box, type the path to the dictionary file to import or click Browse to browse and select the file.

5. Click Import. If there is no translation done in the dictionary file, a dialog box appears saying that there are no translated dictionary files to import.

6. Click OK. If the import is successful, the Import Successful dialog box appears.
