Any item that can appear in a report will require a translation. These include:

  • all comments in the Comment Editor,
  • all report section headings in the Report Section Editor that you have specified should appear in the report, and
  • all attributes used in expressions in a comment.

Note: If a report section heading has one of the “No heading …” format options, it will not require a translation as it will not appear in a report.

The list of items that require a translation may change when a new comment or report section is added, an existing comment or report section is edited, or when expressions used in comments are created or edited.

Each time the translator user starts a Translator Client any new items or items edited since their translation are flagged in the to do column of the table

If the item for translation has never been translated, not only will it be flagged under the to do column, it will have the *** NOT TRANSLATED *** note in the translation.

If the item for translation has been translated before, but has been edited, it will be re-flagged under the to do column with its existing translation. The re-flagging is a prompt that you should review the translation.

The table can be sorted by the to do column so that all the items needing translation can be brought to the top or bottom of the Translator Client window.
