The Translator is a data driven environment, meaning you can use real Sample Data to develop and test your integration logic.  | Switch Samples When you have multiple sample data files added to the Translator, you can switch between the sample messages and have the script execute against the specified sample message. This allows you to run quick test cases against your samplesvarious sample use cases. Use the arrows or type in the sample data number to navigate to specific sample data. |  | Edit Sample Data |  | Add Sample Data |

| title | 4) Execute the script |
|---|
|
When working in the Translator, one of the many great benefits is the auto-execution of the script, enabling you to develop and test your code at the same time. However, sometimes you may want to control when your script executes… (ask Lianne for best example use case)  | Script Execution Play and Stop buttons are available to start and stop script execution in the Translator. |  | Auto-Execution Toggle By default, the Translator will auto-execute to enable the real-time view of results in the Annotation Windows. You can toggle this button on and off to control the script auto-execution. |

| title | 6) Select the language |
|---|
|
The Language dropdown controls how the Translator does code syntax highlighting.  The Language is set to Lua by default, but can be changed if you are working in the Translator with different types of data. For example, if you open a sample HL7 message, the Translator will auto detect the HL7 and change the language bar to the appropriate HL7 setting so the data is highlighted correctly. You can manually select the language if needed. |
