  • Can we use scenarios created with WinActor (Japanese version) to run Office Robot (English version)?

    Basically it is supposed to work somehow. However, characters written in Japanese will be garbled showing “□□□”, so the contents of scenario and message can not be read. Also, if variable name is written in Japanese, it may not appropriately run as it is garbled and unrecognizable.
    Given the conditions above, we do not recommend you not to reuse scenarios written in Japanese to run Office Robot.

    If you have an approval for export, it is possible.

    However, the fixed price differs for each country, so our local partners (distributors) will inform you of the details.
