After creating the dictionary file, you need to edit the strings.

The name of the dictionary file is created from the two-character application ID and the language being exported. For example, if the configured language is Chinese(PRC)-2052 and two-character application ID is AA, the resulting file name is AA_2052_ AlarmComment.xml. The file is written using the same XML schema used by the run-time language switching files.

The general structure of the dictionary file is as follows:
