In this context, all text components of a software that are displayed on the screen for the user are desig- nated as text resources. These include the menu structure with menus, commands and access keys; the dialogs with buttons, checkboxes and other control elements; as well as the "string table" in which character strings are dynamically linked during runtime (for example, error messages and tool tips). The Passolo documentation comprises two manuals: This Getting Started manual provides a brief introduction to help you take your first steps with Passolo. The Reference Manual contains more detailed information. It is available to download from the SDL Gateway . The Reference Manual is not provided in printed form. To display or print the Reference Manual, you need to install Acrobat Reader. The online help in Passolo contains the same information as the Reference Manual. SDL Passolo Editions Passolo is available in several editions, which differ based on the scope and the terms of the individual licensing agreement: the Professional Edition, the Team Edition, the Collaboration Edition and the Translator Edition. SDL Passolo Professional Edition The Professional Edition is intended for project managers, editors and translators responsible not only for localizing software, but also for translating the associated documentation and managing localization projects. The project view and project-related functions enable efficient management of even large projects. SDL Passolo's statistic functions provide the means to better calculate the scope of localization projects. The optional interfaces to translation memory systems help to increase the consistency and quality of the translated documents. The integrated development environment allows the creation of macros, which make it possible to change or add functions to Passolo. SDL Passolo Team Edition The Team Edition offers the same functions as the Professional Edition, but is also able to create and manage a certain number of special translation bundles. These translation bundles can be efficiently processed using the free Translator Edition, which includes all the required functions. Thus, with a single software license it is possible to delegate entire projects to external translators, including the task of testing and adapting the dialogs. SDL Passolo Collaboration Edition The Collaboration Edition is a stand-alone application that corresponds to the Team Unlimited Edition in terms of functionality, yet can also automatically synchronize the translation bundles with translation agencies or translators via an FTP server, Box and GroupShare. The GroupShare add-in is free with the Collaboration Edition, and also available as a paid add-on with the Professional and Team Edition. 2 SDL Passolo Getting Started About this manual 1 SDL Passolo Translator Edition The Translator Edition is a free editor for translators. It can be downloaded from our website http://www.sdl.com/passolo . Only special translation bundles created with the Team Edition can be edited using the Translator Edition. Thus, all the members of a project team can make use of SDL Passolo's powerful functionality without having to purchase a software license. The Translator Edition cannot read source files or generate target files, but it offers all the other functions required to efficiently process translation bundles. SDL Passolo Getting Started 3 1 About this manual 4 SDL Passolo Getting Started 2 About SDL Passolo 2 About SDL Passolo System Requirements In order to install and run SDL Passolo, you will need: • A Microsoft Windows compatible PC (including Intel-based Apple Mac computers with Windows as the operating system) with 2 gigahertz (GHz) or higher, 32-bit (x86) or 64-bit (x64) processor and 4 GB RAM (32-bit) or 8 GB RAM (64-bit) • A screen resolution of 1280x1024 pixels and 256 colors or more • 4 GB of available disk space to run Passolo • Up to 2.5 GB of available disk space to run the Passolo installer For optimum performance on 64-bit operating systems, SDL recommends a recent processor with dual or multi-core

  • Software Localization Made Easy
    Software localization made easy Launching software products into multiple international markets simultaneously in local language can be a real challenge. Software localization is typically very intensive and time-consuming for all the teams involved. During localization, software products are often modified to meet the linguistic, cultural and technical requirements of each target market. But it can be very challenging to localize elements of a graphical user interface (GUI) such as dialog boxes, menus and display texts, without a visual display to work from. SDL Passolo is designed to meet the specific demands of the software localization industry. By accessing a visual translation environment, the localization process is made much faster while the quality of the output is improved. SDL Passolo integrates with all translation tools in the SDL suite, boosting your efficiency every step of the way. Effortless project management With powerful project management capabilities, you’ll find it easy to stay on top of your multilingual software localization projects. Project preparation simplifies communication between the software manufacturer and the translators. The localization manager can work together with the developers and add files requiring localization to the project. Language Product Brief | SDL Passolo 2015 2 When a project is created, SDL Passolo saves the source text in a multilingual project database along with its SDL Passolo gives you translations, modified layouts, comments about the files and any other data.

  • Hostexplorer Programming Help
    Introducing HostExplorer Programming HostExplorer products provide a wide range of application programming interfaces (APIs), a document standard used to program applications. These APIs let you exploit the functionality and features of HostExplorer products from within your own programs and scripts. Rather than creating your own code to redesign applications, you can use the available HostExplorer APIs. These APIs let you extend the functionality of your available programming languages (for example, Visual C++ and Visual Basic) to write scripts. With HostExplorer programming you can: Use OLE Automation APIs to add File Transfer capabilities to your own application. Use a small amount of Visual Basic script to embed an HETerminal screen within a web page, as well as add HTML user interface features for absolute control over how the terminal is used. Use Visual Basic or C++ scripts to provide a new front end to an existing application, and use the Parser or Terminal objects to communicate back to the modified application. Automate terminal display panels to improve their appearance and usability. Automate repetitive tasks (for example, checking data) which improves the reliability of data. You can customize the following HostExplorer programs using the corresponding application programming interfaces (APIs) and available scripts. HostExplorer FTP WyseTerm For information on creating, compiling, and debugging scripts using Hummingbird Basic Language, see the Hummingbird Basic Workbench help. Hummingbird Basic Workbench is an application that is available with the Hummingbird Accessories product. If you want to view the help file, install Hummingbird Basic Workbench, if you have not done so already.
