Dumping all Messages / form texts for translation

[tarlachmoorhouse]

If there a simple way of exporting all the Forms texts from a form etc, preferably in a CSV type format so that I can submit them to our translation Unit as they don't currently edit messages / form text in the eBase designer ?

Thanks

The easiest way would be to do an export from the Ebase Repository Database.

Code: Select all

SELECT * FROM MESSAGES

for example gives you everything from the Messages section of the forms. If you use this in a GUI, you can then normally select the returned data and copy and paste it into a spreadsheet. If you need it in CSV then save it in that format.

Other Tables you can look at are:

• RELATIVE_TEXT_ITEMS
  STATIC_LISTS
  TEXT_ITEMS

Thanks Antony look like a rather nice small eBase project to do a 'translation front end....
