Translate Project (into another Language)

This command in the ‘Project’ ‘Translate into Another Language’ menu opens the ‘Translate Project into Another Language’ dialog.

The current project can be translated into another language if an appropriate translation file is used.

Note

If you want to save the version of the project in the language in which it was originally created, save a copy of the project prior to translation under a different name. The translation process cannot be undone. Consider in this context the possibility just to display the project in another language (in this display version then however not editable).

In the field Translation file, provide the path to the translation file to be used. By pressing Search you may access the standard Windows file selection dialog.

The field Target language contains a list of the language identifiers entered in the translation file, from which you can select the desired target language.

OK starts the translation of the current project into the chosen target language with the help of the specified translation file. During translation, a progress dialog is displayed, as well as error messages, if any. After translation, the dialog box and all open editor windows of the project are closed.

Cancel closes the dialog box without modification to the current project.

If the translation file contains erroneous entries, an error message is displayed after OK is pressed, giving the file path and the erroneous line, e.g.: “[C:\Programs\CoDeSys\projects\visu.tlt (78)]; Translation text expected”
