# An Excel spreadsheet of exported application text strings

In the Excel spreadsheet, the text strings for each application language appear in a separate column. Any strings that have not been translated appear as UNDEFINED. Once the undefined strings have been translated into their respective languages, the strings for all the languages can be re-imported into the application.

If you do not want strings for a language translated, delete that column.

An Excel spreadsheet cell has a theoretical limit of 1,024 characters that can be shown, but this may in fact be less, depending on the font used and the display characteristics. If any single item in your application's exported text exceeds this limit, (an alarm message, for example), the cell for that text appears blank in the exported Excel spreadsheet. For more information, refer to the specifications and limits for the version of Excel you use at https://products.office.com.
