      Externalize Strings wizard
    </h1>
    <p>
      The Externalize Strings wizard allows you to refactor a compilation unit such that strings used in the compilation unit can be translated to different languages. The wizard
      consists of the following pages:
    </p>
    <ul>
      <li>
        String selection page
      </li>
      <li>
        Translation settings page
      </li>
      <li>
        Error page
      </li>
      <li>
        Preview page
      </li>
    </ul>
    <h2 class="Head">
      String selection page
    </h2>
    <p>
      This page specifies which strings are translated and which not.
