Export alarm comments for offline translation

1. Start WindowMaker and open the application for which you want export alarm comments for offline translation.

2. On the File menu, point to Export.

3. Select Localization and then, select Alarm messages.

4. The Export alarm fields screen appears

5. In the Select language to export list, select the language to export for translation.

6. In the Select directory box, select a location to export the file.

7. In the Two characters representing Unique application box, type the two characters. The ID can only contain alphanumeric characters and it is case-sensitive.

   Caution: If you previously exported alarm or tag comments from this application, you must use the same two-character application ID when you export them the next time. If you enter a new two-character application ID, the InTouch HMI regenerates the IDs for all the alarms and tags, which causes all existing translations to be lost.

8. Select Export to export the information to an XML dictionary file.

   The InTouch HMI creates an individual export file for each configured language. All the dictionary files for different languages are exported to the single directory you specify.

   If a duplicate file exists for any language being exported, you are prompted with the name of the file. You can cancel the export or continue the export operation.

   If the export is successful, the Export Successful dialog box appears.

   Note: If the size of the alarm comment configured in the tag dictionary is greater than 127 characters or the tag comment is greater than 46 characters, the alarm or tag comment is not exported. You are notified that the comment was not exported to the dictionary file at the end of the export process and an AlarmComment.log or TagComment.log file is created in the export directory.

9. Select Close to return to the WindowMaker window or select Close and Launch Explorer to open the folder containing the dictionary file.
