Loading and testing your message catalog

To load your message catalog, first compile it into a .mo file.  You can use poTree’s Compile command (the File menu) or just save the .po file (f the automatic compilation option is selected on poTree’s Options dialog box (the File menu).

Start The Panorama Factory application and open The Panorama Factory’s Options dialog box (Tools menu).  If you have compiled the .mo file into the folder you created for your language, your language name should be displayed in the Language tab of the dialog box.

Select your message catalog by clicking its name.  If it is already selected, you must still click its name in order to enable the OK and Apply buttons.  Then click OK or Apply to load the message catalog.

If you have disabled any popup “tips” in the past by selecting In the future do not show this message, you should re-enable them before you begin testing. To re-enable the tips, open The Panorama Factory’s Options dialog box (Tools menu), select the Popup tips tab, click the All checkbox and then click OK or Apply.

Refer to the following sections for testing your message catalog:

·         Test sequence to view all Wizard panels
