Understanding Translation Copying

Many times the source text is a sufficient explanation for the target item or you cannot translate the target item. You can use these features to copy information from the source text fields into the translation target fields:

Feature	Description
Copy Source	Copies the text for all source fields to the translation target fields.
Copy Alpha	Copies the translation for the alpha description into the row and column translation fields. (Use this feature for data dictionary translation only.)
Copy Row	Copies the translation for the row description into the translation field for the column description. (Use this feature for data dictionary and translation tools only.)
Copy Previous	Copies the translation for the last saved translation into all translation fields.
Copy Tab	Copies the translation from the Short Name field to the Long Name field. (Use this feature for processing options translation only.)

Note: For data dictionary items, always translate the alpha description first so that the copy functions are available for the row and column translations.
