Geo SCADA Expert supports two kinds of Translation Dictionary: A File Translation Dictionary and an In-Database Dictionary. You can only enable one Dictionary at a time in Geo SCADA Expert.
Use the Import From File option to load content from a File Translation Dictionary file into your Microsoft® Excel® spreadsheet. This allows you to transfer content from a File Translation Dictionary and use it to create or update an In-Database Translation Dictionary.
Follow these steps:
- In the Excel Geo SCADA Expert Dictionary ribbon, select Import From File.
Excel displays the ‘Select a file to import’ dialog.
- Navigate to the folder where you store your File Translation Dictionary files. The default folder is: C:/Program Files/Schneider Electric/Geo SCADA Expert. However, it might be another folder on your computer. If you are not sure which folder the files are stored in, you can find out by using the Geo SCADA Expert Server Configuration tool. To do this, expand the System Configuration branch in the tool and then select the Dictionaries branch. The folder location appears in the Dictionary field in the Database section.
- There are three types of File Translation Dictionary file:
- Country-specific. These files contain text translations which are specific to one country, such as American English. The naming convention for a country-specific file is: <language>-<REGION>.txt. For example, en-US.txt would contain translations for American English.
- Region-specific. These files contain text translations which are for a specific language irrespective of country-specific variations. The naming convention for such a file is: <language>.txt. For example, en.txt would contain generic English translations.
- Default. These files contain default text translations. The default file is called Default.txt.
In the ‘Select a file to import’ dialog, select the file that you want to import, then select the Open button.
Excel will now load the content from the selected file into your spreadsheet.
