**TranslateWindow( **[,//window//]// //**), VIRTUAL**

{{blk2blue.jpg|blk2blue.jpg}}

| **TranslateControls** | Translates text for each control on the WINDOW. |
| //window// | The label of the APPLICATION, WINDOW, or REPORT to translate. If omitted, TranslateControl operates on the active target. |

The **TranslateWindow **method translates the text for each control on the active target (APPLICATION, WINDOW, or REPORT). The AddTranslation method sets the translation values for the controls.

**Implementation:**

The TranslateWindow method calls the TranslateControls method, specifying the entire range of controls on the window, except for menus and toolbars.

**Example:**

**PWindow WINDOW('Preferences'),AT(,,89,34),IMM,SYSTEM,GRAY**

**         CHECK('&Sound'),AT(8,6),USE(Sound),VALUE('ON','OFF')**

**         PROMPT('&Volume'),AT(31,19),USE(?VolumePrompt)**

**         SPIN(@s20),AT(8,20,21,7),USE(Volume),HVSCROLL,RANGE(0,9),STEP(1)**

**         BUTTON('OK'),AT(57,3,30,10),USE(?OK)**

**        END**

**  CODE**

**  OPEN(PWindow)**

**  Translator.TranslateWindow             !translate all controls**

** ACCEPT                                  ! plus window titlebar**

** END**
