Can I translate desktop files?

Yes. The RAY Enterprise Filesystem Connector command line tool can handle almost any desktop file, as long as it is saved in a file folder. Simply designate the file folder, and all contents of the folder will be sent for translation. 

(info) Note: The RAY Enterprise Filesystem Connector cannot yet handle files managed via CMS integrations.


Where do I access completed translations?

You can pull all completed translations, or you can download specific files for specific locales using the RAY Enterprise Filesystem Connector. These downloaded files will display in the original folder, immediately after the original source file, with the locale listed immediately after the file name.

For example, if you translate ‘sample.txt’ into Japanese, it will be downloaded as ‘sample.jp_JP.txt.’


Using the Tool
Once everything is installed, you'll be ready to use the tool to request translations. On the next page, we'll outline how to run key actions and provide a few examples.
