WizTom for Windows - Creating the Project

Creating the project consists in selecting the application which must be translated, as well as defining the application'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 application that are currently running. 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 application's icon. The icon for the active project is marked with a darker green box as seen on the picture.

To create a project, simply click on the application's icon. In this case, click on the 'Notepad' icon.

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.

A window labelled Objects Translation Tool should appear to confirm that WizTom Studio has detected the application you have just selected.

After the project is created, you must select the original language and the target languages you want to translate your application 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 (UK);

 French and German have been added to the project.

You may add to your project as many languages as you wish. However, you should make sure your system supports the combination of languages you choose (fonts, codepages, etc.). For instance, Windows 95/98 installations do not support display of languages with incompatible codepages, e.g. French (codepage 1252) and Polish (codepage 1250).
