Opening a Resource Procedure
Follow these steps to open a resource procedure:
NOTE: You must select a procedure name that has a resource procedure as indicated in the Resource Procedure column. Some procedures do not have resource procedures and you must translate them phrase by phrase in the Translations tab folder.- From the Procedures tab folder, select the name of the procedure file that you want to translate.
NOTE: If the resource procedure contains more than one frame, an alert box appears stating how many frames the procedure contains. To see the other frames, choose the Next Frame button.- Choose the View button or double-click on the procedure name to display the procedure. The Visual Translator displays a resource procedure window similar to the example shown below:
![]()
Automatic Translation
By default, the Visual Translator displays the source phrases in the resource procedure. You can set the Visual Translator to automatically add the glossary entries as translations for those text phrases displayed in the resource procedure.
Follow these steps to automatically translate the source procedures in a resource procedure using the translations in the glossary:
- Choose Options
Preferences. The Preferences dialog box appears:
NOTE: For automatic translation to work, you must activate the Automatic Translations When Visualized toggle box and choose OK. You must then open and close each resource procedure you want to automatically translate.- Activate the Automatic Translations When Visualized toggle, then click OK.
NOTE: You can visualize the glossary suggestions without saving them as translations by deactivating the Automatic Translations When Visualized toggle box and choosing OK in the Preferences dialog box before you proceed to Step 4.- From the Procedures tab folder, double-click a procedure to visualize it. The resource procedure appears with target phrases displayed for all those text phrases that have glossary entries. If the glossary does not contain an entry for the text phrase, the source phrase is displayed instead.
- Close the procedure window to automatically save the glossary suggestions as translations.
NOTE: Automatic translation works only for those text phrases you can visualize in a resource procedure. It does not apply to all the text phrases in the kit. For example, you might have a glossary suggestion for all or part of a message statement, but you cannot automatically save the glossary suggestion as a translation because the message statement does not appear in a resource procedure. For more information on translating all of the text phrases in a kit, refer to the "Pretranslation" section.
