Defining Translatable Strings from the Editor Pane

You can define strings for translation from the editor pane.

To define a translatable string

1. Select the text that is to be translated.

2. Press F6.

   The Add String dialog, shown in the following image using the selected comment from the previous method example, is then displayed.

   

   The String Name text box displays a string name manufactured by JADE from the selected text by:

   • Removing illegal characters

   • Truncating the name to 100 characters

   • Replacing spaces with underscore characters

   • Changing the first character and each character following an underscore character to uppercase

3. If you want to define the translatable string in a superschema of the current schema, select the appropriate superschema from the list in the Schema combo box.

4. You can change the string name, if required. The text selected in the editor pane is displayed in the Definition text box and can be modified to meet your requirements.

When you click the OK button, the translated string is displayed in the method with a preceding dollar sign ($), as shown in the following example.
