### Translating user forms in HelicsWin.Net

To translate the default labels to your language in HelicsWin.Net:

1. Click Settings in the main menu, and then click the Translation tab.

The Translation form opens.

Please note that the Check translations and Consolidate translations options are only used in connection with translating user forms using a pre-prepared file.

2. Click Translate.

The Translation form opens.

3. In the Select a language… list, select the language you want to translate to, for example,

fr French (français)

4. Click Add language.

The selected language is added to the list under List of Languages in the application.

5. Select the new language from this list.

The selection indicator points to the selected language.

The labels for the foreign language are shown in the Translate the different entries grid at the bottom of the form.

The entries in the Translate column are initially simply the English labels, and you must translate them one by one.

6. You can make the data easier to manage if you apply filters to the column headers to reduce the number of items visible in the table, for example:

You can filter each column just as would do in Excel or Access, by clicking the down arrow, and making a selection. Examples:

To show only the names in the Reports form: Click the down arrows to the right of Category, and select Form-reports. |  |
To show only the button names in the Reports form: Expand the Type column header and select Button. |

7. In the translation column, replace the English text, for example, “Cancel” with the corresponding text is your language, for example, “Annuler” in French.

8. Repeat these steps for all labels in the user interface that you want to change.

9. After each update, restart the application. When when you login, select the language which you translated (for example, French).
