|
Follow the steps below for a quick walk-through of how to localize a project.
Please also complete the online tutorial (from the Help menu, select Tutorial) to learn quickly how to use Alchemy CATALYST.

The project environment consists of the following panes and toolbars:
|
|
Project Your project is where you manage and organize all the files that are to be localised. Navigator |
|
|
The Project Navigator pane displays the content of the project in an organized, hierarchical list. When a software application is inserted into a project for example, its individual components such as menus, dialogs, strings and bitmaps are displayed in the Project Navigator. These individual components are referred to as project items. |
|
|
Project Workspace |
|
|
The Project Workspace pane is where the project items displayed by Alchemy CATALYST. The Project Workspace can be displayed in String View Mode, WYSIWYG View Mode, Split-Horizontal View Mode, Split-Vertical View Mode and Statistics View Mode. Most of the manual localization engineering tasks such as layout and resizing are performed in this pane. |
|
|
Translator Toolbar |
|
|
The Translator Toolbar pane is where the items displayed in the Project Navigator and Project Workspace panes are actually translated. |
|
|
Results Toolbar |
|
|
The Results Toolbar pane contains the results of operations such as leverage, search and Todo items. Double-clicking on any item in this pane bring the user directly to the location that item. |
|
|
Reference Pane |
|
|
This pane is used to display suggested translations and glossary terms. Please refer to Using Active Translation Memories and Using Glossaries for more information on how to configure this pane. |
