Support for SmartSymbols and language switching

Language switching works for SmartSymbols if the SmartSymbol template exists in the application.
If a SmartSymbol contains translatable text objects, when you export the dictionary a separate XML is generated, for example SSD_<SymbolName>_<LangID>_<ID>.xml. This XML file contains all translatable strings contained in the SmartSymbol. You can open it in Excel and translate the text strings like you would for any InTouch application.
When you import the translation for an InTouch application, the translations for each SmartSymbol are imported as well.
When you switch languages in WindowViewer, any SmartSymbols containing translatable strings that are translated in this way appear translated.
When exporting SmartSymbols that have dictionary files, the dictionary files are exported along with the .www file. For more information about language switching, see Switch a language at runtime in AVEVA™ InTouch HMI Application Run Time.
