Several methods can be used to translate this information: • a direct translation of messages performed in the different editors. This translation can be performed via a translation tool, Google Translate (providing that you own a license), ... • a translation performed via an external tool (WDMSG and WDTRAD).

All you have to do is open the description window of control and type the corresponding translation in the requested language.

On the "Home" pane, in the "Environment" group, expand "Options" and select "General options of WINDEV". 2. Display the "Translation" tab. 3.

You have the ability to use WDDixio, translation dictionary supplied with WDMSG (see next paragraph), a specific translation software or site, or Google Translate. See the online help for more details. • The supported languages. 4. When the translation parameters are defined, you have the ability to click the button found in the different description windows of project elements: this button allows you to use the software defined for translation.
