The Translation manager's Translations tab lets you translate the constants extracted from the current environment into the current language.
Access
To open the constants' translations page, click the Translations tab in the Translation manager window.
Notes: You cannot access this page unless one or more translation languages have been created. It will be blank if no constants have yet been extracted from the environment.
In addition to "Translation manager", the main window's title bar will contain the current environment name and the current translation language.

Search argument allowing positioning in the constant list.

Lists
Constants
List of extracted constants. The list will be blank if no constants have been extracted from the programs in the environment.
Constants are sorted in ascending alphabetical order.
The constants are set out in six columns containing the following details: constant value, translation, internal number of the constant, comment associated with it and translation of the comment (by default the last three columns are visible if you use the scroll bar). The Translation column will be blank if no constants have yet been translated.
The left-hand column presents check boxes: a checked box indicates that the relevant constant is linked with several programs (it has multiple sources).
Double-click one of the constants to translate it, or else click the right mouse button and select the Translate option.
The associated translation will then be displayed in the constant's corresponding Translation column.
Extended-selection list.
Note: You can select or deselect several non-consecutive constants by holding down the Ctrl key and clicking the left mouse button.
