Name
       trans - translation tool for use with source message catalogs

Syntax
       trans [ -c ] [ -o name ] file.msf

Description
       The command assists in the translation of source message catalogs.  The
       command reads input from file.msf and writes its	 output	 to  either  a
       file  named  or	a file you name on the command line.  The command dis‐
       plays file.msf in a multiple window screen that lets you simultaneously
       see  the	 original message, the translated text you enter, and any mes‐
       sages from the command.	This multiple window screen is easier  to  use
       for translating messages than a single window screen.

       The  top	 window in the multiple window screen displays the text in the
       message source file file.msf.  The editor displays the current  message
       in reverse video.

       In the center window, displays a prompt that asks you to enter a trans‐
       lated message.  You use a control key editor to	move  the  cursor  and
       delete  text  in	 the  center  window.	The  control key sequences are
       defined as follows:

       ──────────────────────────────────────────
       Key Sequence   Meaning
       ──────────────────────────────────────────
       CTRL/k	      Display control key help
       CTRL/h	      Back space
       CTRL/l	      Forward space
       CTRL/w	      Back word
       CTRL/f	      Forward word
       CTRL/e	      Move to end of input
       CTRL/b	      Move to beginning of input
       CTRL/n	      Next line
       CTRL/p	      Previous line
       CTRL/u	      Delete input
       CTRL/i	      Insert mode (default)
       CTRL/r	      Replace mode
       DEL	      Delete previous character
       ──────────────────────────────────────────

       If you need to span more than one line with the translated text, type a
       backslash  (\)  and  press  the RETURN key to enable line continuation.
       After you finish entering the translated text, press the RETURN key  to
       signal that you have finished translating that message.

       The  bottom  window  displays  any  messages  generated	by If an error
       occurs, prompts you to re-enter the entire line, including the  message
       label or number.
