Translator
PlanetPress Workflow Translator action tasks can convert your data from its current encoding to
a number of different encoding. The same data may be converted back and forth as required.
The Translator Action Task is useful for data file using foreign languages, as well as to convert
Unicode data file (which are not supported by PlanetPress Workflow).
Technical
You can create your own translation matrix files for the Translation Action Task by adding
them to the following folder:
%CommonProgramFiles%\Objectif Lune\PlanetPress Workflow 7\Plugins\Translator
Two examples are already present, converting ASCIIto and from IBMEBCDIC.
Codepage 1252 (ANSI - Latin 1) is used for many Latin language documents, since it can be
used for Afrikaans, Basque, Catalan, Danish, Dutch, English, Faroese, Finnish, French,
Galician, German, Icelandic, Indonesian, Italian, Malay, Norwegian, Portuguese, Spanish,
Swahili and Swedish. Codepage 932 is often used for Japanese.
Input
Any text-based data file.
Processing
The characters in the data file are converted from the old encoding to the new one.

The data file in its new encoding format. Metadata, job info and variables are unchanged.

order for the conversion process to be performed successfully.
