WizTom for the Web - Creating the Project

Creating the project consists in selecting the Web site or Intranet/Extranet application 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 as well as the current Web site. 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.

You may open an existing project by clicking on its icon, or create a new one by clicking on the target Web site's icon. The icon for the active project is marked with a darker green box as seen on the picture.

To create a new project, the first step is to connect to the origin server that hosts the Web site which must be translated. Click on the Web Translator button to open the Web Translator window, then type in the server's address in the address bar and press Enter.

The Web Translator will then connect to the origin server and display the page in the browser panel. At the same time, an icon named after the server name appears in the Projects window. To effectively create the project, click on this icon.

		The Web Translator is connected to this server
		This is a Web project
		A project exists for this Web site/application

Please note: if your WizTom Repository contains Thesaurus Templates, a dialog box will pop up at project creation to select the template to apply to the project. In this tutorial, we do not need a template: click on OK without selecting any template. Otherwise, select the template for your project and click OK.

After the project is created, you must select the original language and the target languages you want to translate your Web site 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 Web site'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.).
