Export language data for internationalized strings

You can export language data for all industrialized strings contained in a Galaxy, or just those in selected objects. The following attributes can be localized:

• Aliasname

  Aliasname is also used by the AVEVA OMI NavTree and Breadcrumb navigation apps, and these apps recognize localized Aliasname attributes.

• Attribute.Description

• Boolean OnMsg

• Boolean OffMsg

• EngUnits

• ShortDesc

• Any User Defined Attribute that is of type InternationalizedString

The export operation only applies to objects that are checked in.

To export InternationalizedString attributes

1. Open the Galaxy from which you want to export strings.

2. If you only want to export the attributes contained in certain objects, select the objects now.

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

4. Select Localization. Select either:

   • All Internationalized strings to export all attributes of type in the Galaxy.

   • Internationalized strings from selected objects to export InternationalizedString attributes from the selected objects.

   The Export internationalized strings dialog box appears.

   

5. Configure the export settings.

   • In the Language to export list, select the language file to export. Only languages that have been configured for the Galaxy are listed.

   • In the Destination folder box, enter a full path name, or browse to the folder to which you want to export the language file. Select the browse icon to select an existing folder or create a new folder.

   • To export only attributes that have not been previously translated (differential export), enable the checkbox to "Export untranslated internationalized strings only."

6. Select Export. The export progress is shown as the file is created.

7. When file creation is complete, select Close.
