Setting the Translation Option on a File

Use the Set Translation Option command to set or change the value of the Translate custom attribute on an image file.

Setting the Translation option explicitly on an image file overrides the default system value (specified by selecting or clearing the Graphic Translation Default check box in the application document).

You can issue the Set Translation Option command on multiselected image files.

  1. Right-click the image file and select Translate > Set Translation Option.
    The Set Translation Option dialog appears.


    If the custom attribute already has a value set, it is shown in the Current Value field. If you have multiselected image files and they have different current values, the Current Value field displays mixed.

  2. Select an attribute value from the Translation Option list.
    Available values are:
    Attribute Value Description
    Use Default Use the default value defined for your system.
    Yes Include the graphic in translations.
    No Do not include the graphic in translations.
  3. Click OK.
The Translate custom attribute value you selected is set on the file. You can see custom attributes on the file's Properties sheet in the Properties view or by selecting the Custom Attributes tab.
