Translation

The Translation group is used to select a translate language and if needed to configure the translate tables. You can select the following options:

Note: The language must correspond to the Windows operating system language.
Euro: Select to include support for the Euro currency symbol.
For more information, see Configuring Euro support.
Translate Tables: Configures the translate tables for EBCDIC to ASCII character translation and for EBCDIC to ASCII IND$FILE transfer translation.
For more information, see Editing the translate tables.
Change DBCS Font: Active when a DBCS (double-byte character set) language page is selected. You can select the specific DBCS font that you want to use with the selected language page. DBCS languages have the characters DBCS at the end of their name.
For more information, see Configuring DBCS support.

TN5250/E Flush Buffer Delay: Defines the amount of time to wait after a keyboard restore is received from the host system before releasing the typed-ahead data into the next host screen. Each tick mark on the slider control represents 50 milliseconds; the delay time can range from 0 to 2 seconds.

Write To Display

Used to configure 5250 Emulation options:

Smart Screen Updates: If enabled, BlueZone does a comparison of the current host screen and only updates what has changed. If disabled, BlueZone paints the entire new host screen.
Auto-Retrieve Help Text: If enabled, and a four digit error code is encountered, BlueZone automatically displays the error message sent from the iSeries host without having to press the "Help" key.
Leading Nulls to Spaces: If enabled, BlueZone changes any preceding null characters in the screen buffer to spaces when typing, pasting, or processing an API SendKey-type method call. This feature does not function when using a DBCS or BIDI code page language. Default value is disabled.
