Analyzing Constants ('Translation' Tab - Translation Manager)

This dialog box lets you display additional information about the constant to be translated.

To display details of the programs from which a constant is taken, you must either:

Select the Analyze option from the context-sensitive menu in the Translations tab or Details tab of the Translation manager.
Select the Analyze option from the context-sensitive menu in the Translating associated constants dialog box.
Click the Analyze button in the Translating the constants dialog box.

Note: If several constants have been selected in the Translations or Details tab, the analysis dialog boxes for the various constants will be opened consecutively. Pressing Enter lets you browse through the analysis boxes for the various constants selected.

You can stop the analysis sequence for a series of constants by clicking the active dialog box's close icon (keyboard shortcut: Alt + F4).
