Translation manager
The development of a multilingual visualisation application includes the translation of all
texts used in the application. For this often an external translator is required.
As a virtual standard for exchanging the texts between the project manager and the
translator, VisiWinNET
â
Smart is provided with the translation manager. Here Excel lists
can be created, containing the texts from the VisiWinNET
â
Smart project, which are to be
translated. After the translation process the contents of the files exported can be inserted
in the project again.
Translators have to be equipped with Excel by Microsoft Office from the "Office 2000"
version onwards.
The translation manager is started via the Windows Start Menu. During the installation of
VisiWinNET
â
Smart a corresponding entry is inserted in the VisiWin
® VisiWinNET 2005
program group.
The project manager’s task is to export the texts to be translated as an Excel file with the
aid of the translation manager, to protect them, and to send them to the translator. After
the translation has been completed, the project manager has to re−import the information
received.
