Exporting Language Data for Specific Objects

You can export language data for the following types of Galaxy objects:

• Graphic ToolBox symbols

• AutomationObject templates and instances

• $InTouchViewApp templates and instances.

All symbols in an instance or template are exported.

When you export the language data for a symbol, the language data for all symbols referenced by the symbol is also exported. The exported symbols can be referenced through direct embedding or through a show symbol animation.

For example, a Galaxy has Symbol1 and Symbol2 defined in the Graphic Toolbox. There are two instances called UserDefined1 and UserDefined2. UserDefined1 includes Symbol1. UserDefined2 includes Symbol1 and Symbol2. The instance symbol UserDefined1.Symbol1 embeds Symbol1 and Symbol2 from the Graphics Toolbox and one instance symbol UserDefined2.Symbol1. If you select the instance UserDefined1 and export the language data, then the language data would also be exported for the symbols Symbol1, Symbol2, and UserDefined2.Symbol1.
