To translate titles

  1. Create an ASCII text file of the titles to translate.

    1. At the Qshell command line, type:

      dmptitle [-l language [-t]] productline systemcode dumpfile

      - or -

      dmptitle -m [-l language [-t]] productline dumpfile

    2. Type the following selections:
      Program Option Description
      l language Dump titles in the specified language.
      t Dump non-translated titles in the specified language.
      m Dump titles for menus and menu options in a product line.
      Field Description
      productline Product line to dump titles for.
      systemcode System code to dump titles for.
      dumpfile File to store the titles in.
    3. Press Enter.

      The program runs and displays a message when it completes.

    4. Transfer the file to your word processing or translation program.

    Example: Dump Titles

    The following example shows sample output from dmptitle.

  2. Translate the titles in the ASCII text file using your word processing or translation program.
    Note: The ASCII text file must have been created by dmptitle so that it contains the ~$ lines that indicate the address for each title. Do not change any line that begins with ~$. These are address lines that enable the translations to load to the proper location in the Environment. Change the text below the address line.
  3. Load the title file into the Environment.
    1. In your word processing or translation program, save the file of translated titles as an ASCII (text only) file.
    2. Transfer the file from your PC to the server.

    3. At the Qshell command line, type:

      ldtitle productline language dumpfile

    4. Type the following selections.
      Field Description
      productline Product line to load titles for.
      language Language the titles have been translated into.
      dumpfile File containing the translated titles.
    5. Press Enter.

      The program overwrites all existing titles for that product line and language.
