To translate Environment phrases

  1. Create an ASCII text file of the Environment phrases to translate.
    1. At the command line, type:

      dmpunvphr [-l language] [-n] dumpfile

    2. Type the following selections:
      Program Option Description
      l language Dump phrases in the specified language.
      -n Do not dump extended phrase translations.
      Field Description
      dumpfile File to store the phrases 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.

  2. Translate the phrases in the ASCII text file in your word processing or translation program.
    Note: The ASCII text file must have been created by dmpunvphr so that it contains the ~$ lines that indicate the address for each Environment message. 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 Environment phrase translations into the Environment.
    1. In your word processing or translation program, save the file of translated phrases as an ASCII (text only) file.
    2. Transfer the file from your PC to the server.
    3. At the command line, type:

      ldunvphr [-n] dumpfile language

    4. Type the following selections:
      Option or Field Description
      -n Do not load extended phrase translations.
      dumpfile File containing the translated phrases.
      language Language the phrases have been translated into.
    5. Press Enter.

      The program overwrites all existing Environment phrases for that language.
