Check Results View

Last update: December 2016

RC-WinTrans' Check Results view displays the results of a check command executed by the user.
To solve a (possible) error, select an entry from the list. The corresponding translation unit in the appropriate view will be selected. The view and the item which will be activated depends on the type of error. The table of reported errors below shows you which views correspond to which type of error.

The item's translation text is missing a hotkey or uses the same hotkey as

same source text. Compare the differing translation texts reported for an item in the Differences tab view where the texts are displayed and the differences highlighted.

The control item overlaps with another in the Win32 dialog or .NET Form. Clicking the item opens it in

the Dialog Box view and activates the Overlapping Items tab where you can see and correct the problem.

item to select it in a view where it can be shown and corrected (Text Table view/Translation Edit bar/Captions view).
