Michal -

The category and tag values in the language INI files are defined in the source code for TestStand applications. For more on the format of the INI file, see the "Creating String Resource Files" help topic. If you have access to the source code like the example User Interfaces, they will typically use the functions as outlined in the "Localizing User Interfaces" help topic.

For applications that you do not have source, you will not have access to the category and tag names used by each control or non-control string. Your only option is to search the English string for a match and go from there. Most of them should be easy to find especially if they are relatively unique.
