Add the BoTranGlobal Template to your app and fill in the prompts.  BoTranGlobal automatically populates the BoTranExt template on all procedures in the app.

Disable BoTran in this app if you have compile problems and you Mistakenly suspect BoTran as the source of your problems.<g>  This will disprove any more notions about that.

If this is part of a multi-dll app, check the appropriate boxes.  You should only export Global data in your root dll.

BoTran uses a Global Queue for Translation by default, but if you need a smaller memory footprint, Unchecking this box will use direct file access which is blazing fast when stored in the local current directory with the app.  BoTran is not recommended for use with direct file access across a network.

Select a Translation File (*.BTL) to use with the app.  Select the same file that you used in  the JumpStart Utility Template for this app.  This file name defaults to "%Application.btl".  This prompt is only available on the app with EXE extension. It is highly recommended this file reside in a local directory along with the app. 

Select an Ini File for Parameter.  This ini file should reside in the local directory along with the exe and BTL file.  It is used by the global template to initialize the language selection, and by the BoTranLang control template to dynamically change languages, and store the newly selected language.  You can also alternate your current Language (BTL) file in use if you support more than 10 Languages.  Then check the box "I will control BTL File and Lang used" if you want to take over control of the Language files, and use your own ini file or TPS control file.  You can also substitute your own procedure or other methods of changing Languages and Language files.  The default Language control uses one Language file and supports 9 alternate Languages.  If you are using this as a network app, and store the exe and dll's locally along with the BTL files and ini, you can have the apps running in different languages simultaneously.

There are 7 hooks provided by BoTran to intercept and translate Captions and Texts being sent to the various dialogs and messages.  It merely intercepts them, and then sends them back to whatever procedure or default you are using.  The hooks are provided "very late in the game" so they can play well with other 3rdParty providers such as MessageBox by Capesoft(tm).    Just turn off the ENV stuff in MessageBox and let BoTran handle that<g>.

ABC Template Chain.

Check the box if you are using BoTran Class for the Translator.  Check the box if you want BoTran to Translate the Global Errors.  These checkboxes automatically substitute the BoTran Classes for the Defaults as needed.  This is only available for the ABC Chain.

Translate Print Preview will use a modified Translated version of the Default Print Previewer supplied by the templates instead of the default one.  It uses one that is part of the BoTran Class.  It is only available in the Clarion Legacy Chain.

BoTran Locale replaces the messy ENV files, etc used by the System.

They basically translate the system variables use by the app and are pretty much self-explanatory.
