Editing a Language File in Excel

You can edit a language file outside of PolicyTech by first exporting it as a Microsoft® Excel® file (see Exporting a Language File for details).

  1. In Excel, open the exported language file.
  1. In the Customized Translated Text column, add your translations.

Important: Do not edit text in the Key, Current Default Text, or Description columns, or you won't be able to import the file. By default, all cells in the worksheet have the Locked setting selected, but the cells can still be edited unless you protect the worksheet. You may want to leave the cells in the Key, Current Default Text, and Description columns locked, unlock the cells in the Customized Translated Text column, and then protect the worksheet. (Search for "lock cell" and "protect worksheet" in Excel Help if you need help.)

  1. Save the file.

Note: The file name doesn't matter. The Import feature only checks the data structure inside the file.
