Time formats

To reproduce the different time formats used in the world, several parameters need to be set. To avoid selecting all these parameters each time you "translate" a time, global time formats need to be set in this product before or during the translation of a report.

For instance you could create time formats such as

Then, you can use these time formats while translating time fields in the report.

When you open a source report or import a translated report, the time formats used in these reports are automatically created as global time formats in the TM and are therefore immediately available during translation.

  1. Press the add button
  2. Select a time base:
  3. If you selected a 12h base, you can enter a 12 hour symbol:

  6. Select the minute format
  7. Enter the separator between minute and second
  8. Select the second format
  9. Press the validate button to save this new time format.
    After saving the modifications, the format name on the left hand side will be updated automatically to show how a time will look like using this format.
