Character set
A character set is an ordered set of characters in which a numeric index (code-
point value) is associated with each character.
Different languages and locales may be used in different character sets.
Character sets to choose from are provided based on the language selected.
However, for the Translation Support Utility, the following are the character set
shown.
(1) Japanese (Shift JIS)
(2) Simplified Chinese (GB 2312)
(3) Traditional Chinese (BIG 5)
(4) Latin (ISO 8859-1/CP437)
Filename
An output filename is provided as a default. The filename can be edited.
Database Management
All translation data for each of the source applications with their respective
translation will be stored in a Microsoft Access relational database, which has to
be retained for later retrieval of translated data for modification etc.
You can update the database with the latest application information.
When updating the database, Translation Support Utility checks for changes
made at the source file. Items will be added, removed, or updated depending on
the current file. As a result, there may be new text requiring translation or already
translated text that is obsolete in the database.
File Management
Upon opening a source application MMI file for translation, the user will be
prompted to inform the utility about the language character set pertaining to the
application that is going to be opened for translation.
At any given time, only one application can be opened.
Standard file operations are available for the user to close files, save files, and
exit the utility (which will prompt you to save if any changes have been made).
The following are the file types involved in translation management for this utility:
.MMI files (Memory Map Image file corresponding to NTST data)
.mdb files (Microsoft Access database storing translation data for source and
target)
.xls files (for Export/Import functionality)
Export/Import Management
Export:
(1) All language column headers (excluding the source) will be displayed for
selection of export and the user will be able to select one or more languages
for export from among them.
