By creating groups within resources, 93 RBManager makes it much simpler to manage the daunting number of translations. 94 The resource bundle is like a tree with the files at the upper levels. 95 Beneath the file level is the group level, and beneath that, the individual 96 resources.</P> 97 <P ALIGN="LEFT">The only meta data that groups contain are name and comment. 98 The name is a way of identifying the group from a list of groups, and 99 the comment is a quick description about what the group contains.</P> 100 <P ALIGN="LEFT"><B>Creating a Group</B></P> 101 <P ALIGN="LEFT">Like any other editing that affects the entire resource 102 bundle, the creation of a group can not be done from the individual 103 language file level. Two ways exist to create a group. The first is 104 to select the base class at the top of the resource bundle tree, select 105 the 'Groups' tab, and click the 'Create Group' button. The second way 106 is to go to the 'Options' menu and select 'Add New Group'. The second 107 method can be used no matter what your current view is on the lower 108 right panel.</P> 109 <P ALIGN="LEFT">Once you have followed one of these two methods, the following 110 dialog should appear:</P> 111 <P ALIGN="LEFT"><IMG SRC="../images/screenshots/create_group.gif" WIDTH="408" HEIGHT="109"></P> 112 <P ALIGN="LEFT">Enter a name and comment for the group, and click on 'Create'. 113 Now you have a group. You can add more groups now or at any time. You 114 can also begin to create new resources under the new group as explained 115 in the next step.</P> 116 <P ALIGN="LEFT"><A HREF="step2.html">Back to Step 2</A> -or- <A HREF="step4.html">Forward 117 to Step 4</A></P> 118 </DIV> 119 <!-- #EndEditable --></TD> 120 </TR> 121 <TR> 122 <TD BACKGROUND="../images/template_ll.gif" HEIGHT="40" WIDTH="200"> 123 <!-- Comment --> 124 </TD> 125 <TD WIDTH="80"> 126 <!-- Comment --> 127 </TD> 128 <TD> 129 <CENTER><SPAN CLASS="Copyright">Copyright 2000-2001 International Business Machines, All Rights Reserved</SPAN></CENTER> 130 </TD> 131 </TR> 132</TABLE> 133 134</BODY> 135<!-- #EndTemplate --></HTML> 136
