String Editor Commands

The command used for editing strings are available in the "Texts" toolbar and in the contextual menu.

Add New Language

This command is used to insert a new Language Column in the string table. The available languages will be shown in a list (which can be put into order) contained in a pop-up window. Simply click on the language desired and confirm with the 'OK' button to add it to the table.

Add New String

This command is used to set a new String ID. The string ID will be initialized with a default value that can be changed using the following modes:

select cell desired and press the "F2" key on keypad
double click on desired cell
select cell desired and start digiting text using the keypad.

This command is equivalent to pressing the "Ins" key on the keypad.

Enable Auto Translate

Movicon.NExT supports the automatic text translation function. This function can be used when wishing to have an automatic translation of text into any language inserted in the project.

This Movicon feature uses the automatic online translation services and therefore requires that the PC, being used for this operation, be connected to the internet.

The quality of the translation cannot be guaranteed depending on the automatic online translation services provided. Therefore it is advised to check translations with a translator when in doubt to the correct translation.

It will be the responsibility of the designer or translator, therefore, to evaluate the quality and correctness of the translation obtained, and modify it where necessary.

Translation operations are therefore manageable through the following concepts:

Active Automatic Translation

Movicon will automatically translate any text inserted in any column and insert translated text into empty columns.

Non Active Automatic Translation

No automatic translations will be performed

Translation Command

This command forces the translation of text in a column and requires that the language of origin and the destination language be specified (even when the Automatic Translation is not active).

ATTENTION: The translation command overwrites any previously modified text.

Translate Columns

This command is used to automatically translate all the strings declared in the table by using a pop-up window to select the language to translate and then the columns to translate this language.

Usually this command is used when adding new language columns to the already populated string table.

This feature requires an active Internet connection.

Delete

This command allows you to delete the selected string from the string table. This feature supports multi-selection with "CTRL+click" and dragging techniques by selecting column row on the left hand side and dragging mouse cursor along the column. This command is equivalent to pressing the keypad 'Canc' key

Remove Language

This command is used to remove language columns from the string table. This is done by selecting the desired column from the pop-up window that appears and confirming with OK. This command does not support multi-selections.

Import Strings

This command is used to import text strings in CSV. file format. Movicon will import all the ID and language columns contained in the CSV. file to the string table.

The strings that already exist in the table will automatically be overwritten with those imported from the CSV file. Those language columns that have not been declared in the project but exist in the CSV file will automatically be inserted in the string table.

Export Strings

This command consents to exporting text strings by saving them on file in CSV. format. This command supports single and multiple selections using "CTRL+click" and dragging the mouse cursor along the column containing the pointer to the selected row to the left of the "ID" column. It will be then possible to select and export all the strings from the table or only those selected in the export window.
