Importing Translated Symbol Dictionary Files

All affected symbols and relevant objects are checked out before the import begins and are checked in when the import is done. If an affected symbol or object is already checked out, a message appears in the progress dialog box, and the import is skipped for the checked out object.

For a published InTouch application, only the native InTouch translations are imported.

You can configure how you want Galaxy and symbol/object mismatches handled during the import.

The import is skipped if:

• The default locale specified in the .xml translation file does not match the current default locale of the Galaxy.

• An InTouchViewApp’s installed locale does not match the current default locale of the Galaxy.

  Important: You cannot cancel the import after it starts.

To import a translated dictionary file

1. Using the System Platform IDE, open the Galaxy for which you want to import symbol text.

2. Close all editors and check in all Galaxy objects.

3. From the ribbon, select Galaxy, then select Import.

4. Select Localization, then select Industrial Graphics translation. The Import locale data dialog box appears.

   

5. Configure the import settings.

   • In the Language to import list, select the language dictionary to import.

   • In the Folder to import box, specify the folder that includes the dictionary file to import.

   • In the Select files to Import box, select the .xml files to import. Only files that include the current Galaxy name and the locale ID for the selected language are shown.

6. Click Import. The Import Locale Preferences dialog box appears.

   

7. In the Galaxy mismatch area, configure how you want Galaxy mismatches handled. A Galaxy mismatch occurs when you try to import a translation file that was exported from a different Galaxy. The Galaxy name in the translation .xml file is used to match the current name of the Galaxy.

   • Click Skip file to skip all the files that do not contain the current Galaxy name in the file name.

   • Click Import to import all the selected files, regardless of what the Galaxy name is in the .xml filename.

8. In the Symbol/Object Mismatch area, configure how you want symbol and object mismatches handled. A symbol or object mismatch occurs when the name of the symbol and the internal ID (GObjectID) of the symbol do not match what is within the .xml file. Objects include AutomationObjects and InTouchViewApp objects.

   • Click Skip to skip the symbols and objects that have mismatch names or mismatch IDs in the .xml file

   • Click Import to import a symbol or object only if it has a matching name or matching ID. If the name resolves to one object, and the ID resolves to another object, then the import is skipped.
