Procedure
1. You can copy the sample file "oem_slstepforms_deu.ts" from the following directory: /
siemens/sinumerik/hmi/template/lng
2. Save or create the file in the /oem/sinumerik/hmi/lng or /
user/sinumerik/hmi/lng directory.
3. Change the file name to "slstepforms_deu.ts".
If you require texts for additional languages, then a separate file must be created for each
language. Save the file with the appropriate language code in the file name.
4. Open the file and define the texts in the <message> and </message> areas.
5. Restart the system.
The file must still be converted into a binary format in order that the texts are displayed
during the program runtime. This data is only converted during power up.
