Chapter 7 - Translation Manager

Translation Manager Reference

This section describes the routines and resources that are specific to the Translation Manager. To take full advantage of the implicit translation capabilities of Macintosh Easy Open, you need to include appropriate resources in your application's resource fork. (See "Resources" beginning on page 7-43 for information on the open and kind resources.) In addition, you might need to call Translation Manager routines if your application doesn't use the Standard File Package or if it needs information about
an application's translation capabilities.

IMPORTANT

The routines described in this section are intended for use by applications that bypass the Standard File Package or that need information about some application's ability to translate documents. Most applications don't need to use these routines.

See "Translation Extension Reference" beginning on page 7-46 for information about data structures and routines you can use to write a translation extension.

IMPORTANT

The Translation Manager is not available in all operating environments. You should call the Gestalt function to ensure that it is available before calling any of its routines. See "Checking for the Translation Manager" on page 7-12 for details on calling Gestalt.
