Working with String Change History

You can view the history of changes to strings for the current editing session. All changes are shown, except those made by machine translators.

You can also use the Change History dialog to:
  • Undo and redo changes made in the current editing session.
  • Revert selected strings to their original state.
  • Go to a selected item in the Language Pack Editor strings list.

To open the Change History dialog:

  1. Open the Language Pack Editor.
  2. Modify strings in the strings list, and then save your changes.
  3. Click the Change History icon ().
    The Change History dialog opens and shows the index number for each change, each source string, and each change made during the current editing session.
    Tip: Move the Change History dialog to a position where you can easily see changes you made to strings in the Language Pack Editor Grid.
  4. Use the following options to manage changes:
