Import translated alarm group names

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.
