A dialog window opens from D2000 CNF menu, tab Application parameters -> Generating the dictionary.

A generator will search the selected objects for texts which can contain keywords for dictionary.
If these texts are not empty and they do not contain keywords, the generator will create a key (word) and it will store it (keyword, text) in dictionary.
The text will be inserted into a language mutation given by the default language for the user performing automatic generating of dictionary.

Generator also changes the configuration of selected objects to use the generated keywords.

Described process of generating can be controlled by following dialog box:

Generating the dictionary

Functional buttons

Functional buttons enable to control various aspects of the generation of dictionary.

The button will select objects for the generation of dictionary.
The button will deselect objects for the generation of dictionary.
The button will open selected objects for modification and keys generation.
The button will save changes by:
  1. Modifying the dictionary.
  2. Modifying selected objects.
Exit The button will close the dialog box without saving any changes.

Keywords generation is performed in three steps:

  1. Pressing the button will open a list of objects in current configuration.
    The user can select the objects for generation of dictionary.
    List of objects contains only the types of objects that can be edited by D2000 CNF (unavailable are e.g. pictures, graphs, ...). By closing the list of objects the selection is confirmed.
    The selection can be used repetitively.
    Removal of (previously selected) objects from the list is possible by clicking the button .
    Selected objects are in the first column of the list. Second column contains their status.
  2. After the selection of objects it’s necessary to review their configuration and by pressing the button to locate the texts that can contain dictionary keywords.
    Every selected object whose status is Selected or Open Error will be tested for opening for modification and if the test succeeds the configuration of this object will be inspected.
    For all texts that can be inserted into the dictionary a keyword will be generated and inserted to the list in the right pane of the dialog box.

    This list contains all texts in opened objects and their status in following columns:

    Column name Description
    Full KEY name Every text in the configuration of the object is uniquely determined by its name. This name is used as a key in dictionary. It consists of object_name + object_property_name + sequence_number. A name constructed in this way can be longer than maximum permitted keyword length, therefore it’ll be truncated if necessary.
    Dictionary KEY name Real key name for dictionary (truncated if necessary).
    Status Text description of the keyword status:
    1. ERR: cannot generate keyword
    2. Empty string in object’s configuration
    3. Text is translated
    4. New key generated
    5. Key exists with different text
    6. Key exists with necessary text
    For the meaning of these statuses see a table below.
    Text from the object’s configuration Text contained in the configuration of the object.
    Text from dictionary Text which will be the result of translating the text from object’s configuration using the dictionary.

    Description of the keyword status:

    State Description
    ERR: cannot generate keyword Internal error. It occurs if the process of automated key generation was unsuccessful for given text.
    Empty string in object’s configuration Object’s configuration contains empty string. No keys will be generated for empty strings.
    Already translated text Configuration of the object contains text which is already in the dictionary. No key will be generated for such a text.
    New key generated Text in the column Text from object’s configuration will be inserted into dictionary under given key. Object’s configuration will be modified by replacing the text with the key.
    Key exists with different text Generated key already exists in the dictionary, but it’s assigned to a text different than the text in object’s configuration. Action Save will not use this key.
    Key exists with necessary text Generated key already exists in the dictionary and it’s assigned to the same text as is in object’s configuration. Action Save will not modify the dictionary, it’ll only modify the configuration of object by replacing text with the key.

    Due to the amount of information displayed in the list of keys may be desirable to apply filters to display only:

       A. Keys belonging to certain object (choice Keys list for selected object/all keys).

       B. Rows which will cause the change of configuration of the dictionary or of some of selected objects. In this mode also rows reporting error during key generation or rows indicating conflict "Key exists with another text".
     

  3. The last key in the generation of dictionary is saving of the dictionary by button .
