Translation Settings

This section describes the options available under System Settings related to the Request Translation functionality (which is explained in more detail in the Starting a Structured Translation section of the Translation documentation here).

These options are available under System Setup > Users & Groups > Translation Settings.

Translation File Pattern

The default file name for an XML translation file exported from STEP is 'translation.xml'. The 'Translation File Pattern' setting allows users to change the file name pattern to something a little more meaningful. There are some predefined 'macros' in STEP that enable this tailoring. These macros are: procName, caseNum, src, and tgt. The src and tgt macros pull the source and target language. procName pulls the process name for the action (which is always 'Translation'), and caseNum pulls the number of the corresponding background process.

Therefore an entry such as:

[procName]-[caseNum]-[src]-[tgt].xml

Would create a file with a name such as:

Translation-BGP_24304-US Eng-French Canadian.xml

Should "Filter spreadsheet" option be shown in Translation Wizard.

The 'Should "Filter spreadsheet" option be shown in Translation Wizard.' setting provides the ability to control whether or not an XLS translation file should contain both text attribute values that need to be translated as well as text attribute values that do not need to be translated. This is accomplished by giving users the ability to filter out all text entries from the XLS translation file that do not require translation by checking a 'Filter spreadsheet:' option.

If set to Y, the 'Filter spreadsheet:' option will display on the 'Delivery' screen (step 4) of the 'Request Translation' wizard, which is used when starting a translation workflow. If checked, the exported XLS file will only include text entries that require translations.

If set to N, the 'Filter spreadsheet:' option will not be available on this screen.

This option must be set to Y before the 'Default value for "Filter spreadsheet" option in Translation.' setting (described next) can be enabled.

Default value for "Filter spreadsheet" option in Translation.

If set to Y, the 'Filter spreadsheet:' option will automatically be checked on the Delivery screen (step 4) of the 'Request Translation' wizard. However, this will only work if the 'Should "Filter spreadsheet" option be shown in Translation Wizard' setting is set to Y.
