PslTransList.TranslateText

Returns a list of translations for one string. Depending on MinMatch it looks for pre-translations or fuzzy matches. The function will search through all translation providers as set up in the SDL Passolo options. But, in contrast to the Passolo application this function only uses translation providers that are capable of return synchronous results.

The source and target language of this translation list are used for the search.

Syntax

Expression.TranslateText (Text as String, MinMatch as Variant, MaxCount as Variant) as PslTranslations

Expression Required. Object of type PslTransList

Text String, Required. This string will be translated.

MinMatch Variant, optional. Specifies the minimum match required. The default value is 100, so that the function searches for pre-translations. A value less then 100 will look for fuzzy matches.

MaxCount Variant, optional. Specifies the maximum number of translations to be returned. The default value is 10.

Example

Sub Main
    ' Clear the output window
    PSL.OutputWnd(pslOutputWndMessages).Clear

    Dim trnlist As PslTransList
    Set trnlist = PSL.ActiveTransList
    If trnlist Is Nothing Then
        PSL.Output("No (single) active trans list found")
    Exit Sub
    End If

    Dim ts As PslTranslations
    Dim t As PslTranslation

    ' Pretranslation
    PSL.Output("Pre-Translation------------------")
    Set ts = trnlist.TranslateText("Resources: ", 100)


    For Each t In ts
        PSL.Output t.TransString & " (" & t.Origin & ")"
    Next

    ' Fuzzy Matches
    PSL.Output("Fuzzy Matches-------------------")
    Set ts = trnlist.TranslateText("&File", 80)

    For Each t In ts
        PSL.Output t.TransString & " (" & t.Origin & ")"
    Next

End Sub
