-Or-

In Ribbon view, on the Home tab, in the WorkSpace group, click Settings, and then click User Preferences.

  1. Click the Picture Preferences tab and make sure the Translate Picture On Open check box is cleared. If it is selected, the LanguageDesired and TranslateOnOpen properties in the Properties window cannot be changed.
  2. Click OK to close the User Preferences dialog box.
  3. Right-click in the picture (in an area without any objects) and choose Property Window.
  4. From the LanguageDesired list, select the language that you want to generate a CSV for.
  5. From the TranslateOnOpen list, select Yes.
  6. Display the Translation toolbar, if it is not already open. To do so:
    1. In the tree view area, open the Project Toolbar Files folder and then the Toolbars folder.
    2. Double-click TranslationToolbar to open the toolbar.
  7. On the Translation toolbar, click the Export language file button. A message appears letting you know the language file was successfully exported.

You can now open the language file in Notepad or Microsoft Excel and translate the text strings for the picture.

IMPORTANT: If list separator is comma in your local regional settings, you can use Microsoft Excel to edit your .CSV files.  Otherwise, it is recommended that you use Notepad to edit your .CSV files. It is important that you use the proper text editor, so that the list separator, a comma, gets saved properly using your operating system's native regional settings. If you are unsure of your settings, use Notepad to edit your .CSV files.
