Batch Target Reports Rebuilding (Enterprise edition only)

It is possible to generate several translated reports (.rpt files) from a list of source reports in one operation. You can for instance rebuild/create the translated reports after importing a translated XLS file, or after minor modifications to the source reports that do not affect the translation. It is possible to translate and create target reports from a list of source reports or a whole folder with its sub-folders. All the necessary translations must exists in the TM database to generate fully translated reports. You may want to do a Batch Export to XLS, selecting "untranslated" as status to ensure that no unwanted texts is left untranslated.

To generate translated reports from a list of source reports:

1. Go to the menu Files\Batch Processing\Target reports rebuilding… or press Ctrl+Alt+R
   
   
   
   
2. The parameters dialog box will appear:
   
   
   In the Step 1 page, you should select the source reports you want to translate/rebuild.
   You can either select individual reports one by one or a whole folder with its subfolders.
    
3. If you want to select individual reports, then tick the option "individual files" and press "Add..." to select the source reports you want to localize:

    
   Use the Ctrl or Shift key to select several reports, and press "Open"
   
   

4. The selected reports will now appear in the step 1 page:
   
   To remove a report, select it in the list and press "Remove". You can also use the Ctrl or Shift key to select several reports to be removed.
    
5. If you want to translate/rebuild a whole folder of reports, then tick the option "whole folder" and then click on to browse a folder:
   
   Select the folder to analyse and press "OK"

   If you wish to rebuild the reports in the sub-folders as well, tick the "include sub-folders" option.
    
7. Press "Next" to display the step 2 page:
   
   Select the languages you want to rebuild/create, using the ctrl or shift keys.
   
   The target reports will have the same filename than the source reports but with the suffix of the target language. For instance is the source report is "sample1.rpt" and the French suffix is "fr", then the French report will have the filename "sample1_fr.rpt".
    
8. Press "Next" to display the Step 3 page:
   
   Tick the option "In the same folder(s) than the source reports", if you want the target reports to be created next to each source report.
   
   Tick the option "In the following folder", if you want to save the target reports in a different folder. Click on the to browse the target folder. If you are rebuilding a whole folder with its sub-folders, then you have the choice to recreate the same folder structure under this target folder by ticking the option "create an identical sub-folder structure than source structure". 
   
   If the "Save translated reports in language suffix sub-folders" has been selected in the File\Options... menu, then sub-folders will be created for each target languages.
