User run-time translations with the Translate window
If the Progress Dynamics installation administrator has enabled translation using the Security Control (see Chapter 1 "Overview of Progress Dynamics Administration"), any users running an application can enter their own translations for text objects if they do not like the ones that they see. Every window container has a Translate item on the File menu that opens the Translate Window tool, as shown in Figure 4–11.
This tool is a Progress Dynamics folder window with a static updateable browse. This browse shows all the translatable widgets that are in the window from which the user opened the Translate Window tool. Most of the fields are read only. Those fields that the user can change take effect only if translation is enabled for the installation. Otherwise, any attempts to change them are ignored.
Figure 4–12 shows the user changing the existing valid translation to a nonsensical one.
The next instantiation of the Administration window opens with the new translation, as in Figure 4–13.
