trans

trans(1)						      General Commands Manual							  trans(1)

NAME

       trans - translation tool for use with source message catalogs

SYNOPSIS

       trans [-c] [-o name] file.msg

OPTIONS

       Display comment lines beginning with a dollar sign ($) for translation, in addition to messages.  Call the output file name. The default is
       output file name is trans.msg.

DESCRIPTION

       The trans command assists in the translation of source message catalogs.  The command reads input from file.msg and writes  its	output	to
       either  a file named trans.msg or a file you name on the command line.  The command displays file.msg in a multiple window screen that lets
       you simultaneously see the original message, the translated text you enter, and any messages from the trans 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.msg. The editor displays the current message
       in reverse video.

       In the center window, trans 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 trans. If an error occurs, trans prompts you to re-enter the  entire  line,  including
       the message label or number.

RESTRICTIONS

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

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