界面语言选择功能方便用户根据自己的偏好选择合适的界面语言，当前仅支持中英文两种界面语言。
This function allows users to choose preferred interface language between English and Chinese at present.
使用方法：界面默认语言为中文，若想更换成英文，请在启动软件前，打开app_data\workfiles\的界面语言配置文件interface_language_setting.txt，并将其内的“en”修改为“zh”，然后关闭该文件，启动软件即可。
USAGE: The default interface language is Chinese. To shift it to English, you need to find and open the file "interface_language_setting.txt" under the directory of "app_data\workfiles", change the word "zh" into "en", save the file, and run the software.
语料读取功能方便用户根据具体需求自行加载符合转码格式的双语语料单文件或多文件。单文件指原、译文均在一个文件之内；多文件指原、译文分文件单独存贮。
This function allows users to feed bi-language files or mono-language files to the tool. A bi-language file refers to a file that contains both the SL text and the TL text; a group of mon-language files refers to files where SL and TL texts are stored seperately.
使用方法：启动软件，按窗体顶部的操作提示先选择“文档类型”（txt, docx, xlsx），再选择“组合方式”（单文件，多文件），然后点击“打开单文件”（或“打开多文件”），找到自己要进行转码的语料单文件（或整个文件夹），然后点击“确定”即可。
USAGE: Run the tool, read the promts in the upper part of the window, choose "file type" among txt, docx, and xlsx, choose "bind type" between single file and multi-files, and then click "Open Single File" (or "Open Multi Files"), pick out the file or the directory for converting, and finally click the "open" button.
自动填充功能方便用户快速完成双语语料元信息标注及有可能缺失的对齐基本标记项的填加。元信息标注项包括标题，作者，译者，语言，日期，版本号，类型等七项，对齐基本标记项包括统一行号，对齐句段，篇章标题等三项。
The function aims to free user's hands from the tedious jobs of adding meta information or missing columns for each corpus file. The necessary meta information for OFA ParaConc includes "title", "author", "translator", "language", "date", "version", and "genre", and the three basic columns for each corpus file are "Sent Number", "Sent", and "Chapter or Single Text Title".
使用方法：在上一步点击了“确定”后，本工具即时启动自动填充功能， 并将从所加载语料中提取到的各类标注项直接填加到源语语料及目标语语料表格窗口当中，同时校正其上的检索标记项。 用户可补加或修正自动填充功能未能填写或填写错误的标记项。
USAGE: The click of the "open" button will activate the auto-filling function immediately, outputing all the meta info or missing columns it found within the corpus to the display window of SL Corpus Preview and TL Corpus Preview. It will also readjust the various corpus noting parameters in the upper window. However, "Even Homer nods!". It's necessary for users to check each filled or unfilled item to make sure that the information is 100% correct.
操作提示功能方便用户了解界面各组件基本功能及把握语料转码进程。提示信息以操作提示窗口、悬浮文字及状态栏文字等三种方式进行展示。
This function helps users to be familiar with the tool and keep trace of the converting process. Various prompts may appear in the Operation Prompts Window, pop_up word frames, or the status bar.
使用方法：有关每次操作的提示都将出现在窗体顶部的操作提示窗口中；操作结果或错误信息等将出现在窗体底部的状态栏内；将鼠标置于某组件之上并停留片刻，即可看到相应组件的基本功能提示信息。
USAGE: Prompts for Converting steps will appear in the the Operation Prompts Window in the upper part of the window; Cheers or Errors will be prompted in the status bar; what's-this prompts will pop up automatically when you put your mouse cursor right above certain component of the tool.
转码输出功能方便用户获取所需json文件以供OFA-ParaConc检索使用。
This function enables users to fetch the json files that are, without any doubt, "needy" for OFA-ParaConc.
使用方法：当操作提示通知您“所有语料均已提交完毕”，并提醒您点击“转换格式”按钮时，点击窗体右下角的“转换格式”按钮，然后按出现的操作提示到相应目录中查收最后生成的json文件即可。
USAGE: When the prompt reads like "all files have be submitted successfully" or "please click the 'Converting' button now", you need to find the button in the lower right corner of the window and click it. After that, find the json file in the directory it is supposed to be and transfer it to the corpus directory of OFA-ParaConc, and Cheers!
