Entering a Translation
Once you select an object, you can enter your own translation, select a suggestion from the glossary, or edit a glossary selection.
Entering Your Own Translation
Follow these steps to enter your own translation:
NOTE: To enter your own translation, you must have the proper permissions. Choose OptionPreferences to check the Privileges section of the Preferences dialog box. If you want to change the privileges, contact the project manager.
- In the Properties window, type a translation in the Target fill-in field. The text appears in red.
- Choose File
Save. The Visual Translator changes the text in the Target fill-in field to black to indicate that it saved your translation. It also displays your translation in the resource procedure window. In the example shown below, the Visual Translator displays “Ville” instead of “City” in the resource procedure window:
NOTE: When you type in your own translation, the Visual Translator adds it to the glossary as a custom glossary entry. However, the Translation Manager does not accept glossary entries that begin with a question mark (?).

Selecting a Glossary Suggestion
In the Glossary field of the Properties window, Progress displays all the glossary target phrases for a source phrase. For example, if “customer number” is the source phrase, the Visual Translator displays target phrases for “customer number,” “customer,” and “number.”
If you activate the Use Word Indexing toggle box, the Visual Translator also displays all the target phrases for those source phrases that contain the word you want to translate. For example, if “customer” is the source phrase and you activate word indexing, the Visual Translator displays target phrases for every source phrase that contains “customer,” such as “customer address” and “customer number.”
Follow these steps to use a glossary suggestion for the target phrase:
- If you use word indexing, select a source phrase or a word from the Source selection list.
- Select a suggestion from the Glossary field. The glossary entry appears in the Target fill-in field.
- Edit the glossary entry in the Target fill-in field if necessary, then press OK. The target phrase appears in the Procedure window.
