Picto-Selector uses Firebird database server as database engine. By default, Picto-Selector uses Firebird embedded which is installed implicitly. Picto-Selector is very much self-contained.
If you prefer using Picto-Selector in office/school environment where people using multiple copies of Picto-Selector will share the same set of pictosheets, a standalone Firebird database server should be installed.
Assuming that you have installed Picto-Selector on computer “MyClient1” and are going to use computer “MyHost” to host the database and linked files, here are the steps:Picto-Selector for Large Organisations

Introduction Translating is done by volunteers, no one makes money with it. But it is a very nice way to help other people!
Translating the pictos There are a lot of pictos. So it is best to divide the work between several people. Ask other people to help you!
It is best to do the translation in blocks. I will keep track of the pictos that are already translated.
I prefer to use blocks of 500 pictos.Расширенные функции
