Translation Spreadsheet Samples

The following are examples of export .TXT for the various STORIS domains after they have been converted to Excel® spreadsheets for translation. The spreadsheet formats used by the Translation Tool are similar for all translation domains. The first sample, for the Screens domain, describes each column in detail. The remaining domain samples describe only context-specific variations.  

Domains: Screens, Data, Dictionary, Help, Lookups, Menus, Messages, DTS Query Tabs

 

 Depending on your computer settings, your spreadsheets may not look exactly like the examples below.  For example, your Excel® settings may cause blank rows to insert in between rows with text. These extra rows do not harm the spreadsheet.

Each spreadsheet contains the record ID in the first column of each data row.  During the export process, the Translation Tool inserts a tilde character (~) as a prefix to each record ID.  This combats issues caused by leading zeros in the record ID. Some of the  spreadsheet examples below do not include the tilde character (~) in the data rows of the first column.  For example, in the Screens domain spreadsheet (see example below), "PGM.TEST.PGM" will display in your spreadsheet as "~PGM.TEST.PGM".  When importing translation spreadsheets back into STORIS, the Translation Tool ignores the leading tilde (~) character in the record key.
