Menu bar

The menu bar includes the File, Options and Help menus.

• File: Includes the Translate option to begin the process of translation, and the Exit option which closes the application.
• Options: You can View Translation Memory Contents, Configure Translation Memory, Import and Export Translation Memory and configure General Settings from this menu.
• Help: This includes the Help, Tutorial, Quick Start, Support Forum, Online Resources and other help options.

Toolbar Options

The toolbar includes the following options:

• Configure Translation Memory
  Configuration of translation memory includes specifying the maximum number of words in a sentence and the Match Percentage. 
• View Translation Memory Contents
  Display translation memory contents in a table.
• Translate
  This option begins the translation of the pages stored in the source folder.
• Language Pairs
  A drop-down list of source-destination language pairs.  Site Translator currently supports 14 language pairs.
• Minimize to System Tray
  If this option is selected, when minimized the application icon appears in the system tray (instead of the Task Bar).  To restore the application, right-click on the icon, and click "Restore". 
• Help
  This option displays the help file for Site Translator.

User Specified Tags

You can translate the contents between User-Specified Tags by selecting the Consider Only User Specified Tags option.  The "Configure" button displays the User-Specified Tag Interface.  The Don't Consider User Specified Tags option is selected by default which means that User Specified Tags will not be considered during translation even if they are present and have been saved in the form of a list.

Source and Destination Paths

In the source path, specify a single file to be translated or a folder where the files to be translated are located.  Click the "Browse" button to browse through the folders and files on the system.  For specifying the Destination Path, use the Browse button to locate the desired folder, or use the New folder button to create one. 

File List View

The list view enables you to view the source and destination files at the time of translation.  The columns include source page names, destination page names and the size of the translated page.  You can view any of the pages in the computer's default web browser by clicking on them.
