WizTom for Java - Creating the Project

Creating the project consists in selecting the Java application or applet which must be translated, as well as defining the project's original language and the target languages.

When WizTom Studio is running, the top part shows the list of existing projects, with the active project in a darker green box. This part is called the Project window; to scroll through the list, use the mouse wheel or the little white arrows in the top left and bottom right corners.

To create a new Java project, click on the Project button and select the "New" menu item. A dialog box pops up asking for the new project's name. For this example, use "Metalworks".

Please note: if your WizTom Repository contains Thesaurus Templates, you may choose one from the list displayed in the New project window. In this example, we do not need any template.

A new project has been created, but it is empty for now: programs must be added to it. Click on the Project button and choose the "Properties" menu item. The Project Properties window opens up. Click on the New button to create a new program: in the Program Type window, select "Java" and press OK.

Finally, the Program Properties dialog box pops up, allowing you to enter the target application's details such as the program's name, the Java type: applet or application, and the main class name.

For this example, the program name should be set to "Metalworks" and the Java type to "application". Finally, use the browser button to find the Metalworks.class file on your computer and press the OK button.

To finalize the new project, click on the Close button in the Project Properties window: the Project window of WizTom Studio then displays a new Java icon for the Metalworks project we have just created.

After the project is created, you must select the original language and the target languages you want to translate your Java program into.

Click on the Languages button to show the Languages Selection window. This window shows a list of available languages, as well as the languages used for the active project. As with the Project window (and the button panels of WizTom Studio), the list of languages is scrollable using the mouse wheel or the white arrows.

To add a language, simply move the mouse over the flag of the language you want in the upper panel and select it with a mouse click, then press the Add button. Alternatively, you may directly double-click on the language's flag.

To remove a language from a project, select it in the bottom panel and click on the Remove button, or double-click on the language's flag.

Please note that the first language must be the application's original language. In this example:

 the original language is English (US);

 French and German have been added to the project.

You may add to your project as many languages as you wish, but you must make sure your system supports the combination of languages you choose (fonts, codepages, etc.).
