Translation functions 349
Translation functions
Translation functions deal either directly with translators or with translation results. These
functions get information about or run a translator, edit content in a locked region, and
specify that the translated source should be used when getting and setting selection offsets.
dom.runTranslator()
Availability
Dreamweaver 3.
Description
This function runs the specified translator on the document. This function is valid only for
the active document.
Arguments
translatorName
■ The translatorName argument is the name of a translator as it appears in the
Translation preferences.
Returns
Nothing.
dreamweaver.editLockedRegions()
Availability
Dreamweaver 2.
Description
Depending on the value of the argument, this function makes locked regions editable or non-
editable. By default, locked regions are non-editable; if you try to edit a locked region before
specifically making it editable with this function, Dreamweaver beeps and does not allow
the change.
NOTE
Editing locked regions can have unintended consequences for library items and
templates. You should not use this function outside the context of data translators.
