- If necessary, click option "System pages" to export text of system pages (translation into a language not available in the list of the basis

- Open the file exported from XBT L1000 (Transl.txt )
- For a cyrillic translation, Select the column with the text to translate
(column B or C) and assign to the cells the True Type Cyrrilic font
(supplied with the XBT-L1000).
Special characters (top part of the font) of column B are replaced by cyrillic characters.
- Translate texts (column B or C).
- For a cyrillic translation, use an "on screen keyboard-type tool"
