Tab folders
The main interface component of the Translation Manager tool is the tab folder. When you select one of the tabs shown below, the Translation Manager displays the corresponding folder:
The tabs allow you to view the following folders:
- Procedures — Lets you specify the source files you want translated. You can specify entire directories or individual files. Also, it lets you peruse and edit source procedures.
- Data — Lets you extract text phrases from the source procedures you selected in the Procedures folder, specify filters, and load the extracted text phrases through the filters into the project database. Lets you create resource procedures—the user-interface procedures that the translators will use to translate text phrases and user-interface objects in context. Also, it lets you import and export data strings to a third-party translation tool.
- Glossary — Lets you create and maintain glossaries with the option of using Microsoft Glossaries provided with the Translation Manager tool. Also, you can import and export glossary data.
- Kits — Lets you create a language kit for each translator. Each kit, when zipped (compressed), includes a database that contains text phrases to be translated and a glossary, resource procedures, image files, and an environment (
progress.ini) file for the resource procedures. Also, you can consolidate a translated kit into the project database. - Statistics — Lets you view various statistics for the current project including the date you created the project, the size of the project, the code page, the number of procedures and text phrases, and the number of words. You can also generate a hardcopy of the statistics report or save the report to a text file.
