### Translating user forms using a pre-prepared file

As an alternative to translating user forms directly in HelicsWin.Net, you can edit the translation file, Translation mdb in Microsoft Access.

To translate HelicsWin.Net labels in Microsoft Access:

1. Repeat steps 1 to 5 in the procedure Translating user forms in HelicsWin.Net.

2. Click Update.

3. Close HelicsWin.Net.

This ensures that the labels for your language will be available in Microsoft Access. HelicsWin.Net only saves your changes in the Transaction.mdb file when HelicsWin.Net is closed.

4. Open the Transaction.mdb file in Microsoft Access.

This file is located in the HWN folder (the default is C:\HWN2).

5. Open the tbl_translation table.

6. Filter the Language column to show only entries for you language (for example, “fr” for French).

7. Add your translations to Translation column.

8. Save Transaction.mdb.

9. Copy your updated Transaction.mdb to the HWN folder and overwrite the existing Translation.mdb.

10. Restart HelicsWin.Net.

11. Check the translation in HelicsWin.Net, see Checking your translation.
