Export Language Dependent Data to XML - Wizard (ttadv8910m000)

Use this wizard to export language-dependent components to XML for translation.

Tools language dependent components include labels, messages, questions, and the system-overhead.

After the translation of the XML file you generate with the export process, you can import the translated XML file into Tools by means of the Import Language-Dependent Data from XML - Wizard (ttadv8920m000) session.

Note The system overhead is located in Tools package and contains the language-dependent strings for standard commands, command groups, control command groups, status line texts, tools texts, pull-down commands, menu groups, menu items, and tool tips.

 

Source Language
