CATALYST Text File Parsing

Step 1

1) The first step is to add the extension of the file we wish to parse to our File Types: To add a File Type to CATALYST: Click Tools, Options, and click the File Types tab. Choose Text File from the File Types list box. Type the new file extension (here it is “prs”) in the New file extension box., and click the Add button to add to the File extensions list. Click OK.

W

ithin CATALYST a text file parsing facility has been designed and implemented to allow the identification, extraction and translation of strings held within text files. The resulting text file resource held within the CATALYST TTK format file can then be translated and leveraged like any other CATALYST resource. Let us start with the file Strings in quotes.prs which is in the Advanced\Parsing folder. We wish to translate only the strings within single or double quotes in this file.

2) The next step is to create parsing rules for this File Type: To create parsing rules for a File Type: Click Tools, Options, and click the Text Parsing tab.

CATALYST Text File Parsing

Choose your file extension from the FileType list box.

Step 1 Choose your file type identifier from the File

Type Identifier box. By default this is STANDARD. To create a new identifier, click the Add button, enter a name for the rule and press OK. In the String Identification section, the Start Tag and End Tag entries are the characters by which the strings are delimited. Double click in the first Start Tag ID input box and you should be in edit mode. When you have finished entering a tag, press the tab key to move to the next. When you have finished entering tags, press the Escape key and press OK to accept your entries. The below entries would extract anything between quotes or double quotes, but would not show the quotes themselves. If you wish to display the delimiters (i.e. the quotation marks in this example), then the Include Tag would be set to TRUE

Start Tag “ '

End Tag “ '

Include Tags FALSE FALSE

Insert the file into a CATALYST ttk to see how this new filter works.

Comments may be extracted from a file using the Comment Identification section. Enter the following rules for the file comments.new in the Advanced\Parsing folder:

String Parsing Start Tag

End Tag

Include Tags FALSE

Comment Parsing Start Tag End Tag ; /* /* //

Extract Com. FALSE FALSE FALSE

Insert the file into a CATALYST ttk to see how this works.

Exercise: Create a text parsing rule for the file Config.loc in the folder Advanced\Parsing. The file consists of the first column of text which is not for translation, followed by either two or three tabs and then a column of text which is for translation.

Advanced Parsing Attributes: The user may define the Advanced Parsing Attributes which identify End Of Line, New Line, Form Feed, Tab Stop, Carriage Return and Word Delimiter. These are set by default to Windows text file values. Files created on other operating systems (such as Unix or Mac) may use different values. The available preset values which can be used as parsing tags are the following. Beginning of String End of Line ( EOL value of Parsing Attributes) New Line ( NL value of Parsing Attributes) Form Feed ( FF value of Parsing Attributes) Carriage Return ( CR value of Parsing Attributes) Tab ( TAB value of Parsing Attributes) Space Character(s) . N = Number of spaces. I.e. indicates a single space . Notes: The Start Identifier field defines the value which the text parser will use to identify the beginning of a string or comment. It can be a single character or a string, and can include any of the parsing attributes such as or (but not ). It can also be defined as , or beginning of string, which simply means that the string starts directly after the last string has ended. The End Identifier field defines the value which the text

CATALYST Text File Parsing

parser will use to identify the end of a string or comment. It can be a single character or a string. It can also be defined as any of the parsing attributes, such as , or .

Step 1

The Include IDs field is set to TRUE if you want to include the start and end identifiers when extracting the string, or FALSE if you want the identifiers to be omitted. The default value is FALSE. The Extract Comment field is set to TRUE if you want to extract comments for translation, or FALSE if you want comments to be ignored. The default value is FALSE.

Importing and Exporting Text Parsing Rules Alchemy CATALYST allows the user to import and export text parsing rules. A file is provided with CATALYST with parsing rules for 17 different filetypes. This file is TxtParse.ctr which is found in the folder in which CATALYST was installed. To import this file, from the menu select Tools | Text Parsing Rules | Import…, select TxtParse.ctr for import. To export text parsing rules, select Tools | Text Parsing Rules | Export…

Leveraging Options

To specify Leverage Expert options:

ou can customize the leverage process to suit your requirements by specifying different leverage options in Alchemy CATALYST's Leverage Expert. Files for leveraging are provided in the Advanced\Leveraging folder. Note that leveraging can take place from a ttk, or from a glossary in *.txt or *.tmx format.

In the Navigator window, select the object that you want to leverage. Click Tools, Leverage Expert, or right_click and click Tools, Leverage Expert, or press CTRL+L. Click the Options tab in the Leverage Expert dialog box. Note that you can also access the Options tab by clicking Tools, Options, Leverage. To leverage text from the same object type, enable the Leverage from same object types only check box. If this option is not selected, the Leverage Expert will search other object types. For example, if the Leverage Expert cannot find a translation for a dialog control in the dialog objects, it will search other text objects (menus and string table objects). To leverage text information only, enable the Leverage text only check box. If this option is not selected, the Leverage Expert will also leverage dialog control coordinates.

Leverage private data only The option Leverage private data only acts in the very same way as the normal leverage except that it does not leverage the text when a match is found i.e. the text in the source files is used to match the control, but the text translation is simply not used when replacing the control. Only the coordinates will be leveraged. Leverage text only Only text, not coordinates, will be leveraged. Add missing ampersands To add an ampersand character to the beginning of the leveraged text if a text string contains a hotkey but the leveraged text does not, enable the Add missing ampersands (&) to beginning of strings check box. Expand x-coordinates if dialog match not found To specify a percentage width increase for dialog controls if a dialog control text match is not found during the leverage process, enable the Expand x_coordinates by percentage if dialog match not found check box. Leverage from same object types only To leverage text from the same object type, enable the Leverage from same object types only check box. If this option is not selected, the Leverage Expert will search other object types. For example, if the Leverage Expert cannot find a translation for a dialog control in the dialog objects, it will search other text objects (menus and string table objects).

Leveraging Options

Leverage old locking information To preserve locks in translations leveraged from the old source version, enable the Leverage old locking information check box. Qsimport.ttk in the Advanced\Leverage folder contains locked strings in String Table 9. Mark text for review only when translation differs from source To mark a text string as translated only if it is different from the source text string, enable the Mark text for review only when translation differs from source check box. For example, the "OK" button in a dialog box is the same for both the English and German languages and will not be marked as translated if this option is enabled. Supplementary file To leverage translations from an alternative source, enable the Use supplementary .TTK check box. Specify an alternative source for leveraging translation by typing the directory location and filename in the Use supplementary .TTK text box, by selecting a previously opened file from the drop down list, or by using the browse icon. Click OK to save any leverage settings you specify.

Step 1

Use fuzzy matching To search for strings that are similar but not identical to a text string, enable the Use fuzzy matching at % check box. For software files, you should specify a high percentage. For best results in the case of .RTF topics, it may be necessary to reduce the percentage in order to match .RTF paragraphs. If the Interactive option is selected for fuzzy leveraging, then any time a fuzzy match is found, the translator is given the opportunity to edit the translation, if more than one match is found, they may select between the matches, and then edit the chosen translation. You may then select the number of fuzzy matches that are offered to the user for consideration during the Interactive Fuzzy matching process. Set the fuzzy matching option at various levels and try it out on the files in the Advanced\Leverage folder.

Filters

Step 1

You can choose to view objects that satisfy any of the following translation status criteria:

! ! !

All objects marked as untranslated All objects marked for priority translation All translated objects marked for review

In addition, you can choose to create a custom object filter for viewing objects that satisfy other criteria including objects that have memos attached or objects that are locked to prevent translation. A ttk has been provided in the Advanced\Filters folder to allow you to set filters.

Y

ou can customize or filter your view of objects and their status in the Navigator window by using the Tools menu or the Filter tab at the bottom of the Navigator window.

Note the “Check Sub Items” option.

Setting General Options

Step 1

Y

ou can use the Options command in the Tools menu of Alchemy CATALYST to set a number of general options. You can choose to display the Document Selection dialog box when you first start Alchemy CATALYST, edit objects in WYSIWYG mode, or specify a startup folder so that each time you open or save a file, Alchemy CATALYST automatically selects this folder by default.

To enable the double-byte character set option This option if selected has two functions. It will grey out the predefined substitution sets in the Pseudo Translate options page, as these appear as garbage on the wrong code pages. It will also ensure that any inserted hotkeys in menus or dialogs will be taken from the original string so that they are valid keyboard characters. Click Tools, Options. In the General tab, select the Double_byte character set option.

To display or hide the Document Selection dialog box 1.Click Tools, Options. 2.In the General tab, enable or disable the Show Document Selection dialog on startup check box as required. Autosave Alchemy CATALYST will autosave your ttk to the folder you select here. The file will be saved with the extension “atk”. It can then be renamed as a ttk if required. To edit objects in WYSIWYG mode 1.Click Tools, Options. 2.In the General tab, enable the Edit objects in WYSIWYG mode check box. To specify a startup folder in Alchemy CATALYST 1.Click Tools, Options. 2.In the General tab, specify a startup folder by typing a filename and location for the folder in the Startup folder text box, or by using the Browse button to choose a folder as your startup folder. Details File Extraction This allows us to keep locks,memos and maximum string lengths in a details file (*.det). This file can

Setting General Options

be extracted as a tab delimited text file, or it can effectively be included within the executable. If this executable is subsequently opened in Alchemy CATALYST, it will contain the locks and memos, even though it is not within a .TTK file.

Click Tools, Options. In the General tab, check the option to Set individual locks when freezing an object Include debug information for runtime validation

A details file can be imported into an exe or dll by right clicking on the file and selecting Import Details/Locks. If the user is importing a details file with locking information, but the locks may refer to strings which have changed, options are provided in order to specify what should happen to those strings, ie should they be set to their original string, set to the string in the details file, or remain unchanged.

This option stamps dialogs with their Ids for debugging purposes during the Runtime Validation (or Extract and Validate) process. It allows a list of errors to be built up in CATALYST's output bar. The user can then double click on each error and be brought to its location within CATALYST. When this option is checked, dialogs will appear with information similar to the one below:

Step 1

The details information can include · · ·

locks the locked string (for reverting purposes) memos

To extract the file as a tab delimited text file (.DET) 1.Click Tools, Options. 2.In the General tab, select the Extract .DET file when extracting .EXE. To include the details information in an .EXE 1.Click Tools, Options. 2.In the General tab, select the Include details resource in .EXE.

ID information for debugging purpos es in Runtime Validate mode

To show a notification dialog when any of the Experts finish This is a simple dialog that appears on the screen when time consuming operations are performed, it allows the user to see from the distance that Alchemy CATALYST is finished. 1.Click Tools, Options. 2.In the General tab, check the option to Show notification dialog on completion. To set individual locks when freezing an object This option, when set will run through an object's sub-items and apply a lock to them if that object has been set to frozen.

The exe or dll extracted with this information is meant for error detection only and should not subsequently be inserted into a CATALYST ttk. When a file is judged ready for use, it should be extracted without this information, through the normal Extract files process.

Extracting A Sample glossaries Project

Step 1

To extract a glossary, select Tools | Extract terminology | Glossary from the menu. Note the options available for the glossary output:

Y

ou can use the Extract Glossary command to extract translated text strings with their original text strings to a tab-delimited text file. You can also export additional information to the text file, such as the name of the file from which the glossary was generated. You can then use this text file as a glossary file that Alchemy CATALYST's glossary management system can reference as you translate or edit text strings in objects. For example, if you are translating a new version of a software application, the glossary file may contain a useful list of recommended translations for the previous version of the application.

A glossary can also be extracted in TMX format Tools | Extract Terminology | TMX. This TMX file can be used in the same way as glossaries in *.txt format. Translation memory exchange (TMX) is a data exchange format used to transfer translation memories between different localization tools. The TMX standard ( http://www.lisa.org/tmx/) has been developed by an industry special interest group called OSCAR (Open Standards for Container/Content Allowing Re-use). The format is based on XML, and OSCAR has published an XML dtd (document type definition) which defines the fields which can be used.

Quickship Expert

Step 1

From the CATALYST menu, select Tools | Quickship Expert.

T

he QuickShip Expert allows the user to compress ttk files, glossaries and memos into one file for ease of distribution to translators. The result is a selfextracting compressed file; a translator can decompress the contents of this file to their own computers, and use the free QuickShip edition of Catalyst to localize it.

Alchemy CATALYST QuickShip is a functionally limited edition which is available for free download from http://www.Alchemysoftware.ie/downloads.html. It only opens .ttk files created with the Enterprise edition. Designed for translators, the following features are disabled: · · · · · · ·

Language Support in Alchemy CATALYST

Step 1

CATALYST now allows the user to specify a source and target language for each .ttk or opened executable.

Source language Target language

U

ntil Version 3, CATALYST used the default Windows language when loading and saving executable files. If the user inserted a Japanese .dll while on an English system, the Japanese text within the .ttk data would be corrupted, since CATALYST would have specified the wrong language when converting the Unicode resources to ANSI.

By storing these language flags, conversions to/from Unicode can be carried out on any machine which supports these languages. For example, Japanese support can be added to English NT 4.0 or Windows 2000 using the Regional Settings control panel applet. This means that by selecting Japanese as the .ttk source language, a Japanese .dll can now be inserted into a .ttk, for example, without corruption of the characters. Likewise for extraction of the files. There is no longer any need to install a Japanese version of the Operating System to do this. Adding regional support for Japanese (for example) to an English version NT4 does not however allow the user to view or edit the Japanese characters, even though creating a ttk or extracting a ttk does not corrupt Asian characters. Windows 2000, on the other hand, does allow the user to view and edit Asian characters. Installing language support on NT4 In order to install language support on NT4 -- the code page files are available in the LangPack folder on the NT4 CD. This folder contains INF files which

Language Support in Alchemy CATALYST

install them from the CD to your hard disk (right click and choose Install).

Step 1

To demonstrate setting up language support for Japanese in Windows 2000: In Windows 2000 go to Start -> Settings ->Control Panel. Open the Regional Options icon. Under the “Language settings for the system” section, check “Japanese” and click on “Set default”. You will then be prompted for the locale select Japan. You may then be prompted for the Windows 2000 CD if you do not already have the necessary files on your system. You will then be prompted to restart the system before the changes take effect. Inserting a Japanese file into Alchemy CATALYST will show you that Japanese characters can be viewed normally. If you wish to enter Japanese characters, you must add the Japanese keyboard to your system. Do this from the Keyboard applet in the Control Panel.

Language Settings in a CATALYST ttk · Source languageThis language setting applies to the original terms in a .ttk or opened executable. When an executable file is inserted, Unicode text is converted to ANSI text based on this language. · Target languageThis language applies to the translated terms in a .ttk or opened executable. When an executable file is extracted, its resources are converted to Unicode based on this language, and the language flag of each resource is set to this language.

Tools | Options | Language tab · Source LanguageThis source language is applied to all new .ttk's and opened executables, when the 'Use these settings as default' checkbox is turned on. · Target LanguageThis target language is applied to all new .ttk's and opened executables, when the 'Use these settings as default' checkbox is turned on. · Executables contain resources for more than one languageThis option is meant for files which contain resources of more than one language property. For example, if you open the file Multi.exe which is in the Advanced\Language Support folder in Visual Studio, you will see that it contains resources with both “English(Ireland)” and “French(France)” properties. If this setting is turned on, only resources with the target language property are displayed. If the setting is not checked, resources of all languages are displayed. So, in the case of multi.exe, if we create a new ttk with Source language English and target language French, and then insert multi.exe, only those resources in the file with the “French(France)” property are visible in the ttk. If “Use these settings as default” is not checked, the user is asked to decide on a language in several situations:File | Open (when an executable is chosen).Object | Import Translations (when an executable is selected in the Navigator).Tools | Find & Replace (Batch of files, Replace option turned on).Tools | Pseudo Translate Expert (Batch of files).

Command Glossary line parameters

Extraction ( Extracting application files from .TTK files )

Introduction: The extract operation extracts the translated versions of all application files that are contained within a TTK or a folder of TTKs. A log file (CatalystBatchLog.txt) is produced in the root of the folder to which the files are extracted.

Syntax and Parameter list: /E ttk_file_name [dest_folder] [/P] or /E folder_name [dest_folder] [/S] [/P]

Examples: d:\Alchemy\Catalyst d:\Alchemy\Catalyst d:\Alchemy\Catalyst d:\Alchemy\Catalyst

/E /E /E /E

c:\Files\Test.ttk c:\Destination /P c:\Files\Test.ttk c:\Destination Ac:\File Folder@ c:\Destination c:\Folder c:\Destination /S /P

Meanings: /E

Indicates extraction operation. Must be first parameter.

ttk_file_name

The name of the TTK file from which the application files will be extracted.

dest_folder

The name of the folder to which the application files will be extracted. If this parameter is not present, the files will be placed in the same folder as the TTK(s). If the folder specified, doesn=t exist it is created by CATALYST.

folder_name

The name of a folder that contains TTK(s). All the TTKs in this folder will have their files extracted.

/S

Indicates that CATALYST should also perform the extraction from any TTKs contained in subfolders of folder_name. This flag only applies if a folder_name has been specified and not a filename. If dest_folder is also present the extracted files will be in the same folder tree structure as the TTKs in folder_name are. In this case, the necessary folders will be created as needed.

/P

Indicates that the files contained in the TTK(s) are to be extracted into the destination folder (if specified), preserving the hierarchy of Project folders within the TTK itself. The project folder structure within the ttk will be recreated in the destination folder. If this flag is not used then all the files within the ttk will be extracted to the same destination folder.
