Select No Import if you do not wish to import a file from another project, a translated application or a dictionary.
Select Project if you wish to import a file from another project:
Enter the name of the file you wish to import directly into the text field or click on the browse button on the right hand side of it. The dialog Base Project Filename appears. Here you can select the project file (*prj) for being imported.
NOTE: If a project file shall be imported, Visual Localize also tries to import the size and position of the translated control elements used in this project file.
Select Translated Application if you wish to import one or more files from an already translated application:
Select the option Files if the imported application consists of program modules (e.g EXE, DLL, OCX, INI, XML...) or option Databases if the import will be a Microsoft™ database.
Databases and XML files can only be imported with a valid license for the XML-Translation Engine or Database-Translation Engine.
Click into the text field Apply to. A combo box will appear. Open this combo box and select the program modules you wish the imports to be applied to.
Enter Imported source files and Imported target files directly into the corresponding input fields or click on the small browse button right next to each field to call up the Imported source files dialog. On this dialog please select the source files for being mapped and imported with the corresponding target files.
|
To receive the highest grade of reuse we recommend using the same file type (e.g. EXE, DLL, OCX, XML,...) for the Imported source file and corresponding Imported target file with exactly the same version. |
After having selected the files, click on the Open button in order to confirm your entries.
Repeat this step for the Imported target files.

Select (check) Dictionary if you wish to import phrases from one or more dictionaries (*.dic) or text files (*.txt):
Enter the name and path of the dictionary directly into the list field Dictionaries or click on the small browse button at the right end of it to call up a common ‘open file’ dialog named Dictionary file name.
On this dialog please select the dictionary files (*.dic) or text files (*.txt) which shall be imported. If you wish to enter more than one dictionary repeat the steps above.
When you import more than one dictionary the first one in the list field is the prior one regarding to translation. You can change the order by clicking in front of the dictionary (column with "*") to mark it. Use the arrow buttons to move the dictionary up or down the list.
NOTE: You can delete dictionaries from the list field. To do so click on the left side of the corresponding field to mark it. Then click on the delete button on the right side above the list field to delete its marked entry.
A project and translated applications cannot be imported at the same time. Whereas dictionaries can be imported in any combination. The import of a project or translated applications is always prior to the import of dictionaries.
