Dictionaries


As you begin to translate programs you soon find that a lot of the texts used in software are identical (labels like OK, Cancel, Apply, File, Edit etc are used in just about every program in the world). To avoid having to translate these items manually time after time, the program has support for dictionaries. A dictionary is simply a file containing a list of original strings and one or more translations for each original string for a specific language combination. For example, one file might contain english and polish, another file might contain german and french etc.

 

The following functionality is available for dictionaries:

 

 

If you have made changes to the dictionary, you will be prompted to save it when you close the program or select another dictionary.

 


Note:

Even if you change the in-memory dictionary, the dictionary on disk will not be altered until you select Save Dictionary from the menu. To view the disk file content of the currently selected dictionary, select View Dictionary  in Notepad from the Tools menu (this tool item is only available if you installed the default tool items when you ran the setup program).
