Note: Insomelanguages,likeArabicandPolish,wordshavemultiplepluralsforusewith
differentnumbers.Multiplepluralscanonlybeenteredinatranslationtool.See"Trans-
latingtemplates"onpage415.
Exporting and importing translation files
Intheprocessofthetranslationofatemplate,twotypesoftranslationfilesareinvolved:Portable
Object (.po)filesandaPortable Object Template (.pot)file.Thesearestandardizedfiletypesfol-
lowingthegettextformat.
Thistopicexplainshowtoexportthe.potfileandhowtoimporta.pofile.
Tip: Translationtoolsarecapableofcombining.potfiles.Combining.potfilesmayalsoresultin
.pofilesthatcontaintranslationsforentriesinmultipletemplates.Thiscanbeaninterestingfea-
ture,especiallywhentherearemultipletemplatesinaproject,asthiseliminatestheneedto
maintainindividual.pofilesforeachtemplate.
Forinformationaboutthetranslationprocess,see"Translatingtemplates"onpage415.
Exportingafilefortranslation(.pot)
A.potfileholdsalistoftextsinthebaselanguage.InOLConnectthisisthelanguageinwhichthetem-
platewasoriginallywritten.ThefilecontainstheentriesintheTranslationpane,includinganycom-
ments.
Oncealltranslatableelementsinatemplatearetagged(see"Taggingelementsfortranslation"on
page417),youcancreatethe.potfile:
1. ClicktheExportbuttononthetoolbaroftheTranslationspane.
2. Specifythenameandselectafolderforthe.potfile.
Importingtranslations(.po)
A.pofileholdstranslatedtextsforonelanguage.POfilescanbeimportedintothetemplatefileorused
remotely.
Importing a .po file
Importinga.pofilefileiseasy:drag & droporcopy & pastethefilefromthefilesystemtotheTrans-
lationsfolderintheResourcespane.
Alternatively,right-clicktheTranslationsfolderintheResourcespaneandselectNew Translation >
PO files...
Youcouldalsodownload a remote.pofilethatisbeingusedinthetemplate.ExpandtheTranslations
folderontheResourcespane.Thenright-clickthe.rpofileandselectDownload Resource.
