Using TranMan 1.0 to translate character mode applications
The following are the steps required to use Translation Manager 1
to translate character mode applications, on another platform.
1.) On any platform where the source code exists compile the source
with the XREF option.
2.) Move the xref output file to the Windows system where the
Translation Manager 1 resides.
3.) Run Translation Manager and chose the option to "Aquire Strings"
from the xref file.
4.) Translate strings into other language(s).
5.) Dump the .df and .d files from the TranMan 1 DB.
6.) Move these files to the target system.
7.) Create an empty DB on the target system (make sure that the DB
name is the same as the original TranMan 1 DB) and load the table
definitions and data into this new DB.
8.) Using the Procedure Editor or Application Compiler on the target
system, connect to both the application DB and the new TranMan 1
DB.
9.) Compile the source code with the languages option. Multiple
languages can be specified at this time (only languages in the
TranMan DB should be specified).
10.) Run the compiled code with the languages startup parameter.
Only one language may be chosen at this time.
For example, -lng "french"
NOTE: Steps 5 - 7 are only necessary when compiling translated code
on a non DOS or Windows system.
