| Site Translator : Translate Files |
Translate Files
Site Translator can translate HTM, HTML, ASP.NET, ASCX, PHP, PHP3, PHTML, RESX and XML files.
In order to translate files:
- Choose the language pairs: Select the original language of the file(s) and the language to translate it into from the drop-down lists. If you do not know the original language of the files or folders you are translating, Site translator will automatically detect the language.
- Select the file or folder to translate: To translate the entire site, the files must be on a local or shared network drive. You may need to download a copy of the files to a local folder.
- Specify the folder to save the translated file(s).
- Select Words To Exclude (optional): You can add a list of words that Site Translator will skip during the translation. For instance, you may not want to translate the name of your products.
- Select Tags To Exclude (optional): You can specify the HTML and XML tags in your files that should not be translated.
Click the Translate button to start translation process. When you translate files, you can translate either one file, folder(s) or even an entire web site with a single command.
If you have selected a single file, it will be translated and stored in the destination folder. If you have specified a folder to translate, all the files (and optionally, all files in subfolders) will be translated.
If subfolders are specified, Site Translator will duplicate the folder structure of your original site in the destination folder. The folder icon  beside Browse allows you to open the selected folder in the Windows Explorer.
During the translation process, Site Translator may show a Retry Pending Status. This occurs when the Internet connection is slow, disconnected or there is no response from the translation server. After the translation of all the files in the list, Site translator will attempt to retranslate the file with the Retry Pending Status. A Failed Status will be displayed after 3 unsuccessful attempts.
Other Options
On the Translate Files Screen, you will find the following options:
With Select all files option, you can select all the files in the list.
If you select Copy all non-translatable files to the destination folder, Site Translator copies all the unsupported file types to the new folder or folders. This includes all image files, executable programs, Flash animations etc. If you unselect this option, your translated pages may have broken links.
On this bar, you have the additional option of starting the translation process, clearing the status and saving the translation results. To clear the information of the files translated, click on Clear Status. The status message changes to ‘Pending’. None of the files are lost. The translated files are retained in the destination folder. If you wish to save the list and status of the files translated, click on Save Translation Result. A detailed report of the translation process will be saved into a CSV (*.csv) or Text (*.txt) file format for future reference.
