Release 10.1A: OpenEdge Development:
Translation Manager

Sending a kit to the translator

This section describes how to send a kit to the translator. To provide the translators with all the data they need, you should create a zip (compressed) file for each kit. The zip file contains all the elements of a kit:

A kit database.
Resource procedures so the translators can view the text phrases in context.
The environment (.ini) file that you used to create the resource procedures.
Any image files that the resource procedures use.

The Preferences dialog box contains zip file options. You should make sure that you have your options set correctly before you create a zip file.

To create a zip file for a kit:

In the Kits tab folder, select the kit you want to package in a zip file.
Choose Create Zip file. The Create Zip File dialog box appears:



Type a filename for the zip file with a .zip extension, then choose OK. The Translation Manager saves the kit in the zip file to the working directory.

You can then send the compressed file to the translator on a diskette or by e-mail.

Note: The translator must have the Visual Translator tool to decompress, open, and translate the kit.
