Name
       trans - translation tool for use with source message catalogs

Syntax
       trans [ -c ] [ -o name ] file.msf

Description
       The command assists in the translation of source message catalogs.  The command reads input from file.msf and writes its output to either a
       file named or a file you name on the command line.  The command displays file.msf in a multiple window screen that lets you  simultaneously
       see  the  original message, the translated text you enter, and any messages from the command.  This multiple window screen is easier to use
       for translating messages than a single window screen.

       The top window in the multiple window screen displays the text in the message source file file.msf.  The editor displays the  current  mes-
       sage in reverse video.

       In  the	center window, displays a prompt that asks you to enter a translated message.  You use a control key editor to move the cursor and
       delete text in the center window.  The control key sequences are defined as follows:

       ------------------------------------------
       Key Sequence   Meaning
       ------------------------------------------
       CTRL/k	      Display control key help
       CTRL/h	      Back space
       CTRL/l	      Forward space
       CTRL/w	      Back word
       CTRL/f	      Forward word
       CTRL/e	      Move to end of input
       CTRL/b	      Move to beginning of input
       CTRL/n	      Next line
       CTRL/p	      Previous line
       CTRL/u	      Delete input
       CTRL/i	      Insert mode (default)
       CTRL/r	      Replace mode
       DEL	      Delete previous character
       ------------------------------------------

       If you need to span more than one line with the translated text, type a backslash () and press the RETURN key to enable line continuation.
       After you finish entering the translated text, press the RETURN key to signal that you have finished translating that message.

       The  bottom  window  displays  any messages generated by If an error occurs, prompts you to re-enter the entire line, including the message
       label or number.

Options
       -c   Display comment lines beginning with a dollar sign ($) for translation, in addition to messages.

       -o   Call the output file name.	The default is output file name is

Restrictions
       Your terminal must be 80 columns by 24 lines for to display its three-window screen.

       You cannot interrupt a session and restart it at the point you stopped. You must complete the all the changes to a file	before	exiting  a
       file.

Mined  is a simple screen editor.  At any instant, a window of 24
lines is visible on the screen.  The current position in the file
is shown by the cursor.  Ordinary characters typed in are insert-
ed at the cursor.  Control characters and  keys  on  the  numeric
keypad	(at the right-hand side of the keyboard) are used to move
the cursor and perform other functions.  Commands exist  to  move
forward  and backward a word, and delete words either in front of
the cursor or behind it.  A word in this context is a sequence of
characters  delimited  on  both  ends by white space (space, tab,
line feed, start of file, or end  of  file).   The  commands  for
deleting  characters and words also work on line feeds, making it
possible to join two consecutive lines by deleting the line  feed
between  them.	 The  editor  maintains one save buffer (not dis-
played).  Commands are present to move text from the file to  the
buffer, from the buffer to the file, and to write the buffer onto
a new file.  If the edited text cannot be written out  due  to	a
full disk, it may still be possible to copy the whole text to the
save buffer and then write it to a different file on a	different
disk with CTRL-Q.  It may also be possible to escape from the ed-
itor with CTRL-S and remove some files.   Some	of  the  commands
prompt	for  arguments	(file names, search patterns, etc.).  All
commands that might result in  loss  of  the  file  being  edited
prompt to ask for confirmation.  A key (command or ordinary char-
acter) can be repeated times by typing where is the  escape  key.
Forward  and  backward searching requires a regular expression as
the search pattern.  Regular expressions follow the same rules as
in  the  editor,  These  rules	can be stated as: Any displayable
character matches itself.  . (period) matches any  character  ex-
cept line feed.  ^ (circumflex) matches the start of the line.	$
(dollar sign) matches the end of the line.  c matches the  char-
acter  c  (including  period, circumflex, etc).  [string] matches
any of the characters in the string.  [^string]  matches  any  of
the  characters  except  those	in the string.	[x-y] matches any
characters between x and y (e.g., [a-z]).  Pattern*  matches  any
number	of  occurrences of pattern.  Some examples of regular ex-
pressions are:
  The boy   matches the string The boy
  ^$	    matches any empty line.
  ^.$	    matches any line containing exactly 1 character
  ^A.*.$   matches any line starting with an A,  ending  with	a
	    period.
  ^[A-Z]*$  matches  any line containing only capital letters (or
	    empty).
  [A-Z0-9]  matches any line containing either a  capital  letter
	    or a digit.
  .*X$	    matches any line ending in X
  A.*B	    matches any line containing an A and then a B

Control characters cannot be entered into a file simply by typing
them because all of them are editor commands.  To enter a control
character,  depress  the ALT key, and then while holding it down,
hit the ESC key.  Release both ALT and ESC and type  the  control
character.   Control  characters  are displayed in reverse video.
The commands are as follows.
