Searching for Suggestions Manually

To manually search for suggestions:

1. From the Translation Applications menu (GH791), select either Senior Translations or Junior Translations, depending on whether you are a senior or junior translator, and then F7920: Resource Text Translations (RTT).

2. On Work With Resource Text Translations, complete the Selected File Name and Language fields and then click Find.

3. Select an item in the detail area, and then click Select.

   Alternatively, you can double-click a translation item in the detail area.

4. On the View tab of Resource Text Translation, ensure that the Suggestions option is selected.

5. In the Length field, enter the number of beginning characters that you want JD Edwards Translation Tools to search when finding matches.

   For example, if you enter 5, JD Edwards Translation Tools uses the first five characters of source text to search for and retrieve matching translated items.

   • If JD Edwards Translation Tools finds only one term and the Target field is blank, it automatically loads the text into the Target field. If the existing translation is accurate for the item, continue to step 7.

     The Suggestion Search & Select button also appears here.

   • If JD Edwards Translation Tools finds more than one term, it displays the Suggestion Search Select button with the text More Exists.

6. Select Suggestions from the Form menu.

   Note: The compressed description in the Source Search Text data field contains the search text without spaces, slashes, dashes, commas, or other special characters. The compressed description is the field used in the Data Dictionary Name Search.

7. To search for translations, on Suggestion - Search & Select, enter search criteria in the appropriate fields on the form and click Find.

8. Select the translation that you want to use from the detail area, and click Select.

   The Resource Text Translation form appears, displaying the translation that you chose from the Target data field.

9. Click OK.

   The JD Edwards Translation Tool saves the translation and updates the status.

10. Click Next to move to the next translation item.
