Import String Table Wizard
Because your setup may already contain registry data that could conflict with information stored within
the .reg file you are importing, you can select how you want to handle any conflicts.

Import String Table Wizard
Use the Import String Table wizard to import a string table into InstallShield. This wizard walks you
through the task of importing your strings back into InstallShield after you have had them translated.
The following panels are associated with the Import String Table wizard:
• Welcome
• File Name
• Wizard Complete
Welcome Panel
Select this option if you want data stored within the REG file you are
importing to overwrite any conflicting data already present in your
installation project.
Select this option if you want to retain the data already present in
your installation project when a conflict arises during the import
progress. All nonconflicting registry data are still imported.
If you are creating localized versions of your setup you will find it much easier to export all of your runtime
strings for translation. Once those strings have been translated you can import them back into your
setup project. The Import String Table wizard allows you to point to the text (.txt) file you want to import
that contains all of your translated run-time strings.
When you import a string table, all of your existing strings are overwritten by those in the string table
you are importing. Therefore, make sure you have saved a copy of your original strings before you
import the translated version.
