Select / deselect this check box to assign the desired property to the text, regardless of whether you originally inserted text or path function text. The conversion also considers the layers, if you have used the default layers; i.e., Layer 108 (Graphic.Texts) is converted to Layer 110 (Graphic.Path function texts) and vice versa, but the other layers are disregarded.

Select this check box to prevent (online and offline) translation. Upon leaving the dialog by clicking [OK], the system checks whether the text is language-neutral. If this is not the case, you are asked whether the translation should be removed. If you click [Yes] here, text is created language-neutral. Existing translations are removed.
If the check box is deselected, then texts dependent on language are automatically translated.
