I don't think that is going to work. PVCS has no way to know about the
offsets and size fields located in a given VI. I'm not familiar with
the option you are asking about, but my suspicion is that it is
specifically designed for a particular resource format or EXE format.
If you are looking for a solution to translate strings in a VI, there
are menu items under Tools>Advanced for Exporting and Importing strings.
The file format is pretty readable for hand translating, and pretty
easy to parse if you want to extract the strings to another form,
translate, an
d rebuild.
