Enable translation options in the user interface by adding Dispatcher preferences

For translation options to appear in the Translation Selection dialog box, you must add Dispatcher preferences. This dialog box allows you to select the translation provider and service for a selected data type. You can view the Translation Selection dialog box by choosing the Translation→Translate menu option in the My Teamcenter menu. Note The translator preferences provided by Dispatcher are imported in Teamcenter during installation. You only need to add preferences of new translators or providers that you want to add to Teamcenter. Procedure In My Teamcenter, choose Edit→Options. In the Options dialog box, select Filter. This option is located at the bottom left corner of the Options dialog box. In the Preferences By Filter dialog box, you can either modify the values of the existing preferences or add new preferences. To create new Dispatcher preferences, click the Definition tab and click Create a new preference definition in the Preferences By Filter dialog box. To modify the values of an existing preference, select the preference and change the values in the Values box. Note Access to preferences and preference hierarchy are specified by protection scope. You must set the following Dispatcher preferences: Preference name Description ETS.PROVIDERS Specifies the company that provides translators. ETS.TRANSLATORS. PROVIDER Specifies a list of translators for a specific provider. ETS.DATASETTYPES. PROVIDER.TRANSLATOR Specifies valid datasets for the selected translators. Note Only the datasets specified in this preference are valid for translation. ETS.PRIORITY. PROVIDER.TRANSLATOR Specifies the priority to be assigned to a dispatcher request when the translator specified in this preference is used. ETS.TRANSLATOR_ARGS. PROVIDER.TRANSLATOR Specifies the list of translation arguments to be passed to the translator. Note The order of values in the Values box determines the order in which they appear in the Translation options dialog box. Restart the Teamcenter server and rich client. Select a dataset for which you defined preferences, and choose Translation→Translate. The translators defined for the dataset appear. Note If there is more than one translator definition, all the translators appear in a list. The list with the translator values appears only if you select the cell that contains the translator service.
