Hi Thomas,
I am not really sure, why you are unhappy with the import/export methods in LV 8.0. If you have upgraded such an application from 7.1 or older, then you may get some issue, like described in the LV Release Notes (page 25). But LV 8.20 has no enhancements here.
Regarding localizing your application you will not get that much motivation to upgrade, but there are a lot of other nice feature available.
Best Regards,
Evrem

Hello!
The functions you mentioned are not settable when the VIs are running so you would still need to have a top layer performing these actions through VI server and the start the execution of the VIs in question. Export function loads the frontpanel whiles the import function loads both the frontpanel and the blockdiagram.

@Ben: Hi
The way you described, is similar to what I currently do. I made a library, with all this functionality inside. If I place these vis in a vi of a program, they first check if a translation file for the current vi exists. If not, I create one. For each control in the vi I dynamically generate a file entry (also recursively - clusters of clusters of clusters...). Finally it works, but I'd prefer some built in support.
I don't know where these export/import functions originate from, but I don't think they are very useful. Ok - those who do not build applications but only run the vi in the IDE would be able to use it.
Anyway - I'll have to wait for the next release of LV.
