Translation Viewer dialog box overview
Use the Translation Viewer dialog box to enter a translation for project documentation. The Translation Viewer provides a means to show a key when entering a translation for a piece of documentation.
This viewer is especially handy for editing default translations. When you choose to edit the default translation, the content of the default translation is cleared, but a faint translation viewer appears above the editing window in which the content of the default language appears. You can ignore the viewer. Or, you can place the mouse over the viewer to make the viewer opaque and use the content of the viewer to help you manually edit a translation to the current language from the default language.
If no translations are configured for a piece of documentation, the Translation Viewer does not appear for that documentation.
The current language description appears in the Translation Viewer, if one exists. When you edit the current language translation, the content of the current language is not cleared, but the viewer faintly appears if there are other translations available.
If a current language description does not exist, then the default language description appears in the viewer. If neither a current nor default language description exists, then the first language in the viewer’s combo box appears in the viewer.
IMPORTANT:
Changing documentation affects not only the documentation that is being changed, but also the validity of the translations that exist for the documentation that is being changed.
Move your mouse over the default description to see a Tool Tip which gives additional information about the source of the description.
IMPORTANT:
The Translation Viewer can be turned off in the Workstation Options dialog box. By default the Translation Viewer is enabled.
