Translate Interface Text Phrases - Intergraph Smart Instrumentation - 13.1 - Administration & Configuration - Hexagon

 The System Administrator must first add the specified target language to the database.

1. On the menu bar, click Tools > Edit Translation Text.

2. Do one of the following:

3. Click Open to navigate to a language (.psr) file that contains the interface text.

4. Click Retrieve to retrieve the interface text from the database.

    After you click Update, these commands become permanently disabled, and you will no longer be able to perform either of these operations to load the interface text again.

5. In the language column, type the phrases you want.

   

   • The column headers that appear depend on the available languages, for example: Custom Phrase, French Phrase, German Phrase, and so forth.

   • You can compare phrases more easily by moving two columns closer together. Drag a column header and drop it in the selected location.

   • 

   • If you leave any fields blank for the target language, text from the Original Phrase column (English) will appear in those fields in the interface after switching languages.  This is useful for terms that are the same in your language as in English.

   • Make sure that you add the same prefixes, suffixes and punctuation marks that appear in the corresponding original phrases of that interface language, for example: ~, &.  For details, see Prefixes and Suffixes in the Interface Text.

6. Do one of the following:

• Click Update to save the changes to the database.  (If you want to save the changes to an external language file and not to the database, do not click Update.)

• Click Save File to save the translated interface text to an external language file with a .psr extension.

1. Click Close to close the Edit Translation Text dialog box.

    You must exit and then restart the application for your text changes to take effect.

2. Select the language that you have translated by means of one of the following options:

   • To select a language from the database, see Replace the Interface Language with a Language from the Database.

   • To select a language from an external file, see Replace the Interface Language with a Language from an External File.
