Translation Data Import Screen

When downloading from the website, a file ENCTRANS.EXE is downloaded and placed in an accessible directory such as the Base Directory. Refer to the download instructions. Double click and execute this file and a file called EDITRANS.TXT will be created. Enter the full path to this file in the space for ‘IMPORT File Name’ (e.g. C:\SYSPRO60\PROGRAMS\ EDITRANS.TXT).


The drive letter should be as the server sees it and NOT the mapped drive. It is now possible to browse on the server from the workstation. Once selected via the browse, or if typed in, click ‘OK’ to run the import of all the document translation data.

A file named EDITRN.DAT will be created in the data directory. This file is not company specific and is available to all companies using the data directory.
