Master mode

This mode is designed for use by the Source Code Administrator. It allows manipulation of work and translation files, and also a number of special functions like merging work or translation files with the master database, or exporting of translation files and Surpac message files. You should have at least a master file to run the software in this mode.

To run the software in this mode, the following command line can be used:

JAVA -classpath JAR com.surpac.mlt.TranslationEditor -a [MASTER DATABASE DIR] [WORK DATABASE DIR] [TRANSLATION FILE]

If you do not specify any required paths and files, any operations requiring one of the missing files will be disabled until a valid path is entered in the Paths panel.

Example

The following command line starts the Translation Manager in All Options mode, using a specific installation of Java, the ssiclient.jar file from a development build of Surpac, a master database extracted from CVS, and a work database from a programmers work area:

C:\j2sdk1.4.2_05\bin\java.exe -classpath C:\work\v50\develop\share\java\ssiclient.jar com.surpac.mlt.TranslationEditor -a C:\master\v50\src\include C:\work\mh20040325\src

Further technical information:
