Translators who do not have the RAD Studio IDE can use the External Translation Manager (ETM) instead of the Translation Manager. The steps for using the ETM are similar to those for the internal Translation Manager.

1. To run the ETM from the command line, enter: etm.exe [files] where [files] is the optional project group file or the project files.
2. To run the ETM from Windows Explorer, double-click etm.exe

1. In ETM, choose FileOpen and open the project to be translated.
2. Click the Workspace tab.
3. Expand the project tree view to display the resource files that you want to edit.
   Tip: Use the expand and collapse icons on the toolbar above the tree view.
4. Click the unit file that you want to edit. The resource strings in the file are displayed in a grid in the right pane.
5. Click the field that you want to edit and do one of the following:
   • type the new text directly in the grid
   • right-click the field and choose Edit to edit the string in a dialog box
   • click the Multi-line editor icon on the toolbar above the grid
6. Optionally, enter a comment in the Comment field.
7. Optionally, set the translation status for the string by using the drop-down list in the Status field.
8. Click the Save Translation icon on the toolbar above the grid to update the resource file.

After you have finished the translations, you can send the translated files back to the developer to add to the project.

1. Open your project.
2. On the Languages tab, uncheck the check box for the language you want to remove.
3. Click the Files tab and click the Run Updaters button.

ETM removes the selected assemblies or DLLs from your project, but it does not delete them, the source of them, or the directories they reside in.
