Source Files Dialog Box

Last update: February 2017

 

The Source Files dialog box in RC-WinTrans (see figure below) displays a list of all the source files contained in the active translation project and offers commands to add or remove a source file to/from the project.  This dialog is also used to check the file status of source files.

 

 

Managing Source Files in a Project

Use the dialog's Add command button to add (source) files to be translated to the "Source Files" list for the active translation project.  Use the Remove button to remove a file from the project.

 

The Align .NET Files command button is used when translating the RESX resource files of a Microsoft Visual Studio .NET software project.  Click on the button to open a dialog box where the RESX files can be aligned with the RC-WinTrans translation project.

 

NOTE – RC-WINTRANS TRANSLATOR EDITION:  The Add and Remove commands are disabled in the RC-WinTrans Translator Edition because this product cannot be used to add or remove files to/from a translation project.
