Translation editor¶

How It Opens

In the Project panel, double-click a LocalizationDictionary object.

What is it used for

The translation editor makes it possible to translate strings to be used in multilingual projects/applications. These strings are typically texts displayed in graphical objects.

The editor consists of two pages:

Translation reference which shows a table with all of the translatable or already translated project strings (for example, the strings in the Text property, the strings in the DisplayName and Description attributes, etc.). In this table, the strings to be localized are selected in the translation table.
Translation table in which the translations are defined for all strings.

What the Translation References table looks like
