Displaying a Reference Language

Each entry consists of the source and the target string. In case the translator does not know the source language (concatenated projects) or knows one of the other target languages in addition to the source language, it may helpful and might even be necessary to display this other language in an additional column in the translation list, next to the source and target strings.

To add another column for a reference language to the translation list display, choose Home tab > Reference language . To include an additional column with the reference language when exporting translation bundles, choose the Reference language button in the Export Options for Translation Bundles dialog.

Activate the Reference option and choose the language to be displayed. The string lists for the selected language should already be translated as far as possible.

When exporting translation bundles you can also select a different language as the alternative source language. The selected language then replaces the current source language when this translation bundle is processed.

To remove the column with the reference language, activate the option Don't display an alternative source language.
