Import texts

The import is used to transfer the texts returned by the translator from the returned file (import file) into the project file.

Once all the data has been entered on the File, Languages and Options tabs, the function is triggered with the Import button. A message then displays the success or the errors are listed in detail (see Error display).

Results for the set data are displayed on the Statistics tab.

The import is only limited to the existing texts in the project file. If new texts are added to the import file, these are not inserted into the project file!

The translation manager is not an alternative to the language switch editor. If you want to exchange or add texts between several projects or between a project and an external file, use the "Copy" and "Paste" functions via the Windows clipboard in the development system instead.

Setting	Description of the
File with languages to be imported	Complete file name of the import file. Click on or double-click on the text box to open a file selection dialogue. If the option Create one file for each target languagewas selected during export, only one of these exported files needs to be selected here. The translation manager attempts to determine all others automatically. You may be asked for a target language in the language selection dialogue.
From clipboard	Instead of a file, text from the clipboard can also be used for the import. This button is used to import it and display it in the text box. Any previously selected file name is deleted. The text box can be deleted again using the Loeschen.Protection button.

Description of the

Import all texts

Defines which texts are to be imported.

Only import texts that are identical in the source language in the project and in the import file

Texts are only imported if the number, numbering and type of the text parameters are correct.

The table shows how many text groups and texts were found in the import file(s) for which languages.

To import texts, the files containing the texts to be imported must be specified. It can happen that the target language is no longer saved in the import file. This sometimes happens with Xliff files that are written by external translation tools. The translation manager then tries to determine the target language based on the file name. If this is also not possible, the user is asked which language the import file contains.

Setting	Description of the
OK	The target language must first be selected from the list.
Cancel	The target language cannot be recognised. The file is then ignored for the import.
