Field descriptions

modDate

The creation date of the file translation list. If your extension uses external translators, you might set this field to the modification date of a folder containing those translators.

groupCount

The number of translation groups that follow. The size of the translation list prepared by an extension is variable, depending upon the number of groups, the file specification structure size, and the number of file types that the extension knows about

The FileTranslationList data structure describes which file formats your extension can translate into which other file formats. The Translation Manager uses the file translation list that it gets from each translation system to create a master database of format translations it can direct. A file translation list consists of a field indicating the modification date of the list and a count of the number of groups that follow those two fields.
