Extract

Use the Extract File command to extract a file from a project and create it's target language equivalent.

Delete File/Folder

Select a file/folder in the navigator and use this command or the [Del] button to remove the files.

Swap Languages

A Catalyst TTK has a source and target language. Translation direction is from source to target. Use the Swap Languages option to reverse the order. This can be useful when using a target language as the source for another target language.

 

As an example, if the first language translation is from Japanese to English. The TTK is set as Japanese to English for the first translation. This can then be swapped to become an English-Japanese TTK. Reverting the translations in this TTK makes an English-English TTK that is ready to translate to another language. This may reduce the costs of translation.
