Tip

The labels have the properties: Comment, Loocked and MaxLength. They serve to inform translators on how they should translate. The solution takes advantage of the Comment property to fill in the Caption ML field.

Tip

In a real case, it is developed in English and the labels are put in English. If the developer is Spanish, you should think the tags in Spanish to translate them into English and put them in the source code. Once development is complete, you must create the translations and you must re-translate the tags from English to Spanish. If some time has passed between the beginning and the end of development, the initial translation may not be remembered. To avoid this, you can fill in the Comment property with the Spanish translation, leaving an English label with the Spanish property. In this way, when updating the captions, the translation will be automatically made and no additional translation will be necessary.

You must indicate the language, ESP in this case, and the base translation file (file with extension g.xlf).
