Types of language dictionary files

Export operations to support localization can create the following types of dictionary files:

• Dictionary file (type XML) for all Visualization folder graphics, template graphics, and AutomationObject graphics. The file naming convention for graphics is: <GalaxyName>_<LanguageID>.xml. For example, if the Galaxy name is TestSample and the language being exported is French (Language ID = 1036) then the file name is TestSample_1036.xml.

• Dictionary file (type TXT) for internationalized string attributes. The file naming convention for internationalized strings is: Galaxy_<GalaxyName>_<LanguageID>_Internationalized_strings.txt

• Dictionary file (type TXT) for alarm messages, group names, state messages, and event messages. The file naming convention for alarm messages is: Galaxy_<GalaxyName>_<LanguageID>.Alarm_Comments.txt

• Dictionary file (type XML) for each managed InTouch application.

• Dictionary file for each SmartSymbol (type XML) in managed InTouch applications.

  Note: Alarm export files are text files and are therefore named and formatted differently from graphic dictionary files, which are XML files. For further information see Export alarm comments for offline translation.
