Release 10.1A: OpenEdge Development:
Visual Translator

Tool overview

The Visual Translator is a tool that helps you translate the text phrases in Progress® 4GL applications. The Visual Translator allows you to:

Translate screen by screen — You can view the user interface for procedures, translate user-interface objects in context, and immediately see how your translations will appear on the screen.
Translate phrase by phrase — You can select and translate a single text phrase from a list of text phrases.
Translate globally — You can make global translations. For example, you can translate all instances of the text phrase “close” to “cerrar.” You can then view a particular instance of the global translation on the screen.
Have multiple translators — You can choose to work in multi-user mode and have more than one translator working on the same project.
Use your own glossaries — You can add your own glossary entries to the glossary provided by the project manager—the person who hires you to translate the procedures.
Save a screen capture — You can save and print a copy of a user-interface window showing your translations in context.
