Translating Vocabulary

CA Dataquery stores all commands and query keywords as vocabulary terms in the DQV table. You can access this table by selecting the vocabulary maintenance option on the Language Maintenance Menu. CA Dataquery allows you to translate all vocabulary terms. CA Dataquery provides a directory list of all vocabulary terms. From this list, you select the word you want to translate. CA Dataquery then displays a panel. On this panel you fill in the Language Code and the actual translation.

Rules

Follow these rules when translating vocabulary terms:

Vocabulary terms must be translated into single words. Do not use embedded blanks or special characters.
If you translate a word which is a literal, vocabulary term, and used on a panel, you must translate all three identically.
Do not use the same translation for two different vocabulary terms within a single language.

See Translating Literals for a complete list of words which must be translated identically.

Operation

If you are not already signed on to CA Dataquery, you must sign on to CA Dataquery and display the Language Maintenance Menu. From the Language Maintenance Menu you can initiate translation. See Getting Started Using the Language Maintenance Facility for exact instructions on displaying the Language Maintenance Menu.

Step 2:: CA Dataquery displays a directory of all vocabulary terms with their English equivalent. From this panel you can select the vocabulary term you want to translate.

Procedure

The following lists panel locations and their descriptions.

<PF7> and <PF8>: Use <PF7> to page the vocabulary directory backward and <PF8> to page forward.
+ and -: Page through the directory using the plus and minus sign. For example, entering +20 scrolls forward 20 pages and -20 scrolls backward 20 pages.
TOP and BOTTOM: You can also use the TOP and BOTTOM commands. TOP takes you to the first panel of the directory and BOTTOM takes you to the end of the directory.

After you have located the vocabulary term you want to translate, move the cursor down beside the word and press <PF6> TRANSLATE which creates a copy of the vocabulary term.

After saving your translation, CA Dataquery returns you to the directory. Because CA Dataquery displays the directory in alphabetical order, your translation does not always appear under the base language version.
