As discussed as part of the translation process, there are several ordered steps in this process.


  • creating / managing score sheet is done using the Documents=>create score sheets menu pick
    The process is described here.
  • creating / managing online form is done using the Documents=>manage documents; LiveDoc Setup.
    The process is described here.
  • The translation steps are done using Admin=>manage translation
    The specifics are discussed below. 


The upper part of the Manage Translations page is a table of the current year's translations sets.  

  • chal_* sets are terms from the challenges
  • chal_common are the shared terms across the challenges
  • exp_common are the shared terms for expense reports
  • prep_* sets are terms from prep check-lists
  • prep_common are the shared terms for prep check-lists
  • tdf_* sets are terms from TDFs
  • tdf_common are the shared term for TDFs


Going across a row for a translation set:

  • del will delete the set
  • kind indicates if the origin of the terms are score sheets (scoring) or online forms (livedoc)
  • exp will export the set as an .XML
  • terms and English are the number of terms in the set
  • the remaining columns cover the languages available
    • the  icon will provide more detail on the translations for that language 
    • the number in ( ) indicates the number of translated terms




Further down the page are a variety of functions (depicted below) that can assist in the translation process:

  • Import Translations imports a set of translations - the format of the translation file is discussed  here
  • Add Scoring Translation Set performs 2 roles:
    • Scan Score Sheets will scan the score sheets of the challenges specified by the dropdown for terms and record the English lids
    • Scan Scored Items checks that the scored items in the Scoring Program XML files are the same as the terms in the score sheet XMLs.  The goal here is that the Scoring Program, the Mobile Client and the Score Sheets use the same text for scored items.
  • Add LiveDoc Translation Sets
    • Scan LiveDocs will scan the XMLs for one or more Online Forms to record the English lids.  The dropdowns allow you to specify the challenge any the type of online form.  This scan also takes place when the Online Forms are initialized (more here).
    • Lids Missing will look for lids in the the .XML files that are not captured yet.  The missing lids are displayed at the bottom of the page.
  • Export Sets
    • Zip Sets will create a set of translation sets compatible with Import Translation Sets format - the files are zipped as a single file
      These files are useful as a starting point for solociting translations or a review of the current translations.
      • the kind dropdown determines if the zip file holds scoring or livedoc translation sets
      • the language dropdown controls the translations included in each file
    • Export Sets will create a zip file containing all the translation set XML files. You can create a specific export file using the icon in the table at the top of the page
  • Misc Actions
    • Clean HTML:  Import is picky about certain HTML constructs such as line breaks (eg <br>).  This button scans the text for terms and fixes these issues.
    • List Blank Terms: Import can produce blank terms.  This button will list the terms without text.
    • Delete All Sets is a reset function for all translation sets.  You can delete a specific translation set using the icon in the table at the top of the page
