Translate ICA-AtoM application

Main Page > Translate ICA-AtoM application

ICA-AtoM is a multi-lingual application, meaning that users can switch the interface between different languages, as well as contribute translations of descriptions from the source language to another. This page is for project participants preparing the default translations of the interface that will ship with version 1.0. This version will support the following languages:

• Dutch
• English
• French
• Italian
• Portuguese
• Slovenian
• Spanish

Users of an ICA-AtoM application will still have the option to modify the default translations to suit their own purposes (described in User manual > Translate ICA-AtoM). The procedures on this page, however, are for the one-time translations that provide the defaults.

Translation involves the following steps: Go to a page that contains elements that need to be translated. Open the TranslationPanel by clicking the Translate button on the TranslateBar. Input the translation. Save the translation and close the TranslationPanel. Repeat until all elements have been translated. To help manage this process, ICA-AtoM includes a Translator module. This provides links to pages in the application that contain all the elements that need to be translated. To access the Translator module: 1. Click the Translate tab on the MainMenuBar. 2. ICA-AtoM opens the Translator module, organized by three sub-tabs. 3.
