Language conversion utility

The purpose of the Language Conversion Utility is to be able to define text objects in language(s) other
than the default language, which is English. To understand the concept, consider following example.
Suppose a project is created for 2 languages, English and Russian. While creating the project, the text
objects are defined only in English since the person who created the project does not know Russian.
The first step in the language translation project is to export all of the text objects using the export
function in the NTXS software. The next step is to send the exported file and the Language Conversion
Utility to someone who will translate the English text objects into Russian. The last step is to import the
text objects in the translated project. All of the text objects can now be viewed in Russian as well as
English.
This utility reads the file exported by the application software and displays the text objects in a grid. Text
data for all languages defined by the Unit Settings are loaded. Except for English, the data for any other
language can be edited within the grid. When a text object is edited, the appropriate language keyboard
is activated.

software. Select a file and click Open button, or alternatively double-click on the file name. If the file is
valid, the data in the file is displayed in the grid format. The grid has a minimum of 3 fixed columns:
1. Serial No : Displays the running serial number.
2. Screen - Object : Displays the screen number and object type information.
3. English : The English text associated with the object.
Additional columns will be displayed for each language configured in the project.
Select a grid cell and click on it to change the data. Depending on the language of the column, the
appropriate keyboard layout will be loaded.
