This function is used to translate the local menus and messages of the APLSTD table. Thanks to this function, the messages contained in each chapter are displayed in a list by chapter. The translation can be carried out in the selected Translation language in Entry mode, and with respect to the chosen Reference language.

Two types of items can be translated in this function:

• The description of the chapter of the message
• All the various messages contained in this chapter.

In Entry mode, 3 mandatory fields are requested to the user:

• The Reference language
• The Translation language
• The chapter to be translated from the Reference language to the Translation language

Afterwards, the description of the Chapter is displayed in the Header, as well as the list of messages in the result table.
For each message of the table, 2 lines are provided:

• The first line corresponds to the text of the message in the Reference language.
• The second line corresponds to the text of the message in the Translation language.

=> At this stage, the Translation can be updated, either for the description of the chapter, or for the message line(s) in the Translation language.

NOTE:

In order to facilitate the translation process, 3 Selection actions are available in the "Chapter" field:

• The first action is used to perform a simple selection on the various Chapters of the database.
• The second action is used to list the various dedicated code ranges (for information purposes).
• The third action is used to select exclusively the Chapters of messages containing descriptions or messages to be translated.

In the result table, a checkbox "To translate" is used to know which message must be translated, but also the modification date of the recording.

For further information on Local menus and Messages or inquire the various existing ranges, "Standard" or "Specific", see the following help documentation: Local Menus.
