Project Data View

The Project Data view shows the contents of the active translation project. The data are in greater detail, with translation status information and commands for filtering content by resource type and text by translation status.

Data Filters

The Project Data view lists a project’s files and resources according to the active filter setting determined by the filter button currently selected in the view. Filters are available to show only (i.e., isolate) specific resources types (e.g., dialogs, menus, or stringtable strings) or to show only resources that still have text to be translated, or to simply show the entire contents of the project.

The main filter command buttons are available at the view's toolbar. Additional filters are available in (1) a local menu called up with a right mouse-click in the view.

FILTER	DESCRIPTION
Files	Shows all files and all resources contained in the project.
All resources with text	Shows only those resources that have text to translate.
All non-translated items	Shows only those resources that still need to be translated (or that have changed and need to have their translations confirmed).
Dialog box items	Shows all resources that are dialog box items.
Menu items	Shows all resources that are menu items.
Stringtable strings	Shows all resources that are stringtable strings.
Images	Shows all images in the project.
VersionInfo resources	Shows all VersionInfo resources. (Win32)
Local Menu Commands
Accelerator tables	Shows all accelerator tables. (Win32)
File includes	Shows all file includes. (Win32)
Custom .NET types	.NET: Shows all non-standard (custom) resource types. (NOTE: Custom types are not initially known to (recognized by) RC-WinTrans as types to be translated. These types can be specified as text types (to be translated) or as “not localizable” in RC-WinTrans’ Custom Resource Type dialog box.)
Additional data	Additional data for dialog and menu resources. Includes data such as the shortcut texts for menu items and the font, style, size, and position of dialog box items.

Translation Status Indication

Each item listed has a translation status indicator which tells the user how much of a given resource/resource type/file/project is translated. This is expressed in a percentage next to a pair of numbers which is the number of translated items followed by the total number of items to be translated. The colored circles signify translation (green), incomplete translation (white), and changed (new/modified/deleted resources) source data (red), and may be filled in with one or a combination of these colors.

NOTE: RC-WinTrans considers an item translated when its state is set to either "translated" or "final."

State Symbols, Re-Check Markers, and Notes

Supply additional information about items listed in the Project Data view with one of two "state" symbols ("approved" and "for review"), re-check markers, and/or notes. These are displayed next to their respective items in the view. Assign a note, marker, or flag using the Note, Translation Status, and Menu Commands button near the top of the view or by right mouse-clicking on the tree item to open a local menu with the same commands.

Interactive Display

The view lists the entire contents of a translation project in an interactive display (tree view) that lets you jump to (select) specific data in RC-WinTrans’ Text Table view simply by clicking on the corresponding item listed in the view. You will notice that the item currently selected in the Text Table view always corresponds to the one selected in the Project Data view. For example, when a project is opened the "Project" item at the top of the tree view (the root item) is selected and the Text Table view shows all the data contained in the project. If a menu or a dialog box is selected in the view, only the data for that selected item will be shown in the Text Table view. Click on the "Project" item and all the project data will be visible again.
