Instructions:
Proceed as follows to export project texts from WinCC flexible and import project texts into WinCC flexible.

• Procedure for the language extension of a WinCC flexible project with Russian as the target language in Windows 2000 ("Deutsch" (German), for example)
   
• Procedure for the language extension of a WinCC flexible project with Russian as the target language in Windows XP ("Deutsch" (German), for example)

Note:
You should also note that when you change languages and then restart the PC or you log on again to the PC, the active keyboard is the one set when you changed languages.
This means that when you change to Russian, for example, then the "Russian keyboard layout" is active.
If you have to log on to the PC, then it is made via the "Russian keyboard layout" => different font!

 

No.	Settings required in Windows 2000

General notes:

• Do not change your WinCC flexible project between exporting and importing the language texts.
• Only add the translations in the CSV or XLS files. If you make changes to the source language texts (first column), then the CSV or XLS file can no longer be imported.
• You can only translate the texts on a Russian Windows 2000/ Windows XP or a Windows 2000 / Windows XP MUI set to Russian.
• If, after adding the Russian translation in the CSV or XLS file, you change the regional default setting back to Germany, the Russian translations are no longer displayed in the file, even if you set the default input language to Russian. Only special characters are displayed instead of the Cyrillic characters. However, after importing the translation in WinCC flexible, the Russian translations originally configured are displayed correctly in WinCC flexible.
• In order to add Asian languages to a project you need Asian Windows 2000/ Windows XP and Asian Excel. You do not need Asian WinCC flexible on the computer on which the translations are made. You can import the finished texts into the project on a PG/PC with a European WinCC flexible.
