Training on Catalyst

Using Catalyst software is quite simple. Before using it extensively however, we

recommend that you run some training sessions (Web-based lessons). These are

available on the Internet at: http://www.alchemysoftware.ie/tutorials/index.html

3.2 Localising MM8000 texts with Catalyst

Catalyst Text Translation Kits (TTK)

The MM8000 localisation items (texts, graphic symbols, and so on) are organised

in the following TTK files:

− MM8000 MP 4.15 xxx.ttk (system texts).

− MM8000 MP 4.15 Subsystem Tools xxx.ttk (configuration tool models).

Note: ‘xxx’ indicates the target language; English (ENG) is always available for

reference.

3.2.1 Basic Catalyst instructions

For both TTK files (system texts and configuration tool models, see above), pro-

ceed as follows:

Create your own TTK files

In Catalyst, open (File Æ Open) the original TTK file (‘…ENG.ttk’) and saves it (File

Æ Save as) in the same folder with a new name. We recommend the use the same

name, only replacing the ENG code with your own language code (e.g.: FRE for

French, SWE for, Swedish, etc.). See Fig. 3.
