Adding Files to the Procedures List
Follow these steps to add files to the list of procedures you want translated:
- From the Procedures tab folder, choose Add. The Translation Manager displays the Add Procedures dialog box:
![]()
- Specify whether to add all the files in a directory or a single file.
- If you want to add all the files from the subdirectories of the directory you specify, activate the Add Files in Subdirectories toggle box.
NOTE: If you activate the All Files in a Directory radio button and choose the Files button to select a directory, Progress displays the Get Directory dialog box with a caret (^) in the File Name fill-in field. When you select a directory and close the dialog box, the Translation Manager adds all the files in the directory you selected to the list of procedures in the project database:- Enter the name of the directory or file you want to add, then choose OK.
![]()
The directories and files display as follows on the Procedures tab folder:
![]()
By default, the Translation Manager lists only the procedure (.p) and window (.w) files; however, you can use a wild card (*) expression in the List Files of Type field to select specific types of files (or specific filenames) for translation.
Follow these steps to use a wildcard expression to select specific files for translation:
NOTE: You can only use a wild card expression in the List Files of Type field of the Procedures tab folder. You cannot use a wild card expression in the Files of Type field of the Get Directory dialog box.If you are an experienced user of Translation Manager and you want to speed up the process of adding files to a project, you can suppress messages and statistics that are reported during the process. To suppress messages, choose Options
Preferences and select the degree of suppression you want. You can suppress messages during extract, resource procedure generation, and when adding procedures.
See the "Removing Files from the Procedures List" section for information on how to remove individual files that you do not want to translate.
If you want to translate all of the files listed without removing any, see "Preparing Data for Translation," for information on specifying the filters you want to use when you extract the text phrases from the procedures.
