Translation Sources Window

 

The Translation Sources window shows the translation sources available -- except projects. A project can be used as translation source right as being present in the Projects window and activated in the Translation Sources dialog box.

 

See the "Translation Sources Oveview" topic for a list of supported translation source types. The commands/operations that are available to access and manage translation sources are shown below.

 

Each entry has two sub items to enable or to disable the translation source as find reference and/or as save reference. Translation sources not supporting saving translations do not have a save reference check box.  A find reference can be set also in the Translation Sources dialog box.
