Translation Sets

Form ID: (SM211500)

You can collect all the strings in the system on the Translation Dictionaries (SM200540) form. However, the process can be time-consuming and excessive if you need to translate strings from only particular forms that have been updated or customized. To save time, you can instead use this form to create a translation set and collect strings from only the resources (such as forms or form elements) included in the set. The set can include the strings used on a particular MYOB Advanced form (or multiple forms), the strings used on standalone forms (that is, forms that are not included in the site map), and the strings used on the unbound resources (such as error messages). After you collect the strings of the selected set, they appear on the Translation Dictionaries form. For more information, see Translation Process.

Note: Language translation is a controlled feature, which may not be available for your site.

Form Toolbar

The form toolbar includes standard and form-specific buttons and commands. For the list of standard buttons, see Form Toolbar and More Menu. The form-specific commands are listed in the following table.


Button	Description
Collect	Collects the strings of the resources included in the selected translation set.

Summary Area

You can use this area to specify the settings of a new translation set or to select an existing one. You can then specify the types of unbound resources (if any) to include in the set. After the set has been collected, you can see the system version and the date when the set was last collected.


Element	Description
Translation Set	The name of the translation set, which is populated by the system automatically, based on the value that you enter in the Name box. To view an existing translation set, select its name in this box.
Name	The name of the translation set, which you specify when you create a new set or rename the existing set.
Unbound Resources To Collect	The list of unbound string types that can be included in the set. The following types are available: Chart Name, Color Name, Constant in Formula, Font Family, Font Name, Message, Prompt, Site Map Node, Textbox Value, and Valid Value. Note: Unbound strings are those that are not bound to any form but can appear while using a form. To include the strings of a type in the set, select the check box of the type in the list. To exclude the strings of a type from the set, clear the check box of the type in the list.
Is Collected	A check box that indicates (if selected) that the set has been collected. This check box is selected automatically by the system after the successful completion of the collection process. The date and time of the collection and the MYOB Advanced version that was used to collect the strings are displayed in the System Time and System Version boxes, respectively.
Current System Version	A read-only box that displays the current version of your MYOB Advanced system.
System Version	A read-only box that displays the version of your MYOB Advanced system in which the translation set was collected.
System Time	A read-only box that displays the date and the time when the translation set was collected.

Tree Pane

In this pane (in the lower right on the form), the hierarchical structure of the system is represented as a tree. The system suites are represented as first-level nodes. You can click a node icon to the left of any item in the tree to expand the node and view the hierarchical structure of the node.

You use this pane to add forms to the translation set. To add a particular form, select the form in the tree and click Add to Grid on the toolbar. To add all forms under a particular node, select the node in the tree and click Add to Grid on the toolbar. To add the standalone forms in the system, click Add Standalone Pages. The forms you added to the set are displayed in the table in the lower right pane.

Table 1. Tree Pane ToolbarThe tree pane toolbar includes only form-specific buttons, described in the table below.
Button	Description
Add To Grid	Adds the selected form or all the forms of the selected node to the set.
Add Standalone Pages	Adds to the set all the screens—for example, the Sign-In page—whose files are stored outside of the Pages folder in the site directory on the server that is used to host the application site. Note: In the table, all standalone forms are represented as one form named Standalone Screens with a screen ID of 00.00.00.00.

Table

You can use the table in the lower right pane to view and manage the list of MYOB Advanced forms that are included in the translation set. Because the system collects the strings for only the forms in the table with the Active check box selected, you can temporarily exclude a form from processing by clearing this check box. After collection, you can see which forms were excluded: The Collected check box is selected for only the forms that were included in the collection process.

Table 2. Table Toolbar
The table toolbar includes standard buttons and buttons that are specific to this table. For the list of standard buttons, see Table Toolbar. The table-specific buttons are listed below.
Button	Description
Activate All	Selects the Active check box for all the forms in the table.
Deactivate All	Clears the Active check box for all the forms in the table.

Table 3. Table Columns
Column	Description

Screen ID	The ID of the form included in the set.
Title	The name of the form included in the set.
