Access
To specify the relevant options before retrieving the translations of the chosen environment's messages, click the Messages button in the Retrieve dictionary or message translations dialog box.
This dialog box lets you specify the translation's application area, the library containing the translated message file, as well as the language and translation mode.
The identification of messages for translation is based on the prefix and the number.
