Source text - Italian 1. MODALITÀ DI COMUNICAZIONE E TIPOLOGIA DEI DATI
I campi che costituiscono il messaggio contengono le seguenti tipologie
di dati:
• numeri interi senza segno (int): contenuti in una sequenza di byte
(se il valore del dato è minore di 256 si utilizza 1 byte, se il valore è
da 256 a 65535 si utilizzano 2 byte, etc.). Si utilizza la notazione
Big-endian (byte più significativo a sinistra).
• Importi espressi in centesimi di euro (€int): identico ad un campo
int,contiene l’importo espresso in centesimi di euro;
• Caratteri (char): un carattere è contenuto in 1 byte secondo la
codifica ASCII. Si specifica che i campi eventualmente non
valorizzati assumono il valore = “ “ (spazio) per ogni byte, fino a
coprire la lunghezza del campo. Inoltre, se il numero di caratteri è
inferiore a quella specificata nel protocollo, .si richiede di
aggiungere a destra tanti caratteri “ “ (spazio) fino a raggiungere la
lunghezza specificata.
• I caratteri ammessi sono:
“0123456789”;
“ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ”;
“abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz”;
“.,-_’”
1.1 CARATTERISTICHE DEI MESSAGGI
Ogni messaggio è costituito da due parti:
− Header: contiene i dati necessari all’individuazione del tipo di
messaggio, nonché del sistema che lo ha inviato. E’ fisso ed uguale
per tutti i messaggi.
− Body: contiene i dati che connotano la specifica richiesta o
comunicazione presente nel messaggio. Ha una dimensione variabile,
secondo la richiesta o la comunicazione che si effettua da o verso il
sistema di convalida.
Per inviare un messaggio, il sistema di elaborazione del concessionario
deve predisporre uno stream di byte contenente l’header e il body
opportunamente valorizzati.
7
La risposta fornita dal sistema di convalida sarà composta dall’header
esattamente uguale a quello della richiesta (ad eccezione del campo
lunghezza del body) seguito da un body valorizzato con la risposta: il
primo campo conterrà zero in caso di esito positivo, mentre in caso di
errore conterrà il codice identificativo dello stesso.
1.2 ELENCO DEI MESSAGGI
Sono previsti i seguenti messaggi:
1. Inizio sessione di gioco (200)
2. Diritto di partecipazione (220)
3. Richiesta di annullamento diritto di partecipazione (230)
4. Piano dei premi (240)
5. Convalida della sessione (250)
6. Lista vincitori (260)
7. Accredito vincita (280)
8. Accredito rimborso (290)
9. Fine sessione (300)
10. Richiesta di annullamento sessione (320)
1.3 SEQUENZA DEI MESSAGGI E REGOLE DI INVIO
Sono previste due distinte modalità di gestione dei flussi di
comunicazione:
− Modalità 1 - Trasmissione dei dati relativi a ciascuna sessione
all’avvio effettivo del gioco;
− Modalità 2 - Trasmissione dei dati relativi a ciascuna sessione
all’apertura della sessione stessa da parte del concessionario.
Per semplicità di esposizione, si fa riferimento agli adempimenti del
concessionario, anche se la trasmissione è fisicamente eseguita dal FSC
di cui si avvale, il cui codice deve essere indicato nell’apposito campo
del header di ciascun messaggio.
Si forniscono altresì precisazioni in merito alle sessioni di gioco offerte
tramite circuito.

PROTOCOL GOVERNING COMMUNICATION BETWEEN THE AGENT AND THE PAGE 4 OF 22
AAMS VALIDATION SYSTEM
1. TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF COMMUNICATION AND NATURE OF THE DATA
The fields which make up the message contain the following data types:
• whole numbers without signs (int): contained in a byte stream (if the value of the datum is less that 256 1 byte is used, if the value is between 256 and 65535 2 bytes, etc.). Big-endian notation is used (most significant byte at the left). It is stipulated that numerical fields containing monetary values must always be expressed in Euro cents.
• Characters (char): one character is contained in one byte as in ASCII coding. It is specified that fields which by chance have no values in them take the value = “ ” (space) for each byte until the whole length of the field is filled. In addition, if the number of characters is less than that specified in the protocol, characters of “ ” type (space) must be added at the right until the specified length is reached.
• Permitted characters are:
“0123456789”;
“ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ”;
“abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz”;
“.,-_’”
1.1 Message characteristics
Each message consists of two parts:
Header: contains the data necessary to identify the type of the message, as well as the system which sent it. It is fixed and the same for all messages.
Body: contains the data which connote the specific request or communication present in the message. The dimension is variable according to the request or communication being passed from or to the validation system.
To send a message, the agent’s processing system must provide a byte stream containing the header and the body with the appropriate values.
The response supplied by the validation system will consist of the header, exactly the same as that of the request (with the exception of the field length of the body) followed by an evaluated body with the response: the first field will contain zero in the case of a positive outcome, while in the case of an error it will contain the code identifying that particular error.
1.2 List of messages
The following messages are provided:
1. Start of game session (200)
2. Right to participate (220)
3. Request to cancel the right to participate (230)
4. Prizes plan (240)
5. List of winners (260)
6. Winnings credit (289)
7. Reimbursement credit (290)
8. End of session (300)
9. Request to cancel the session (310)
1.3 Sequence of messages and rules for sending
For each session the following messages must be sent:
1. Start of game session (200)
2. Right to participate (220)
3. End of session (300)
Messages 240, 260, 280 and 300 must be sent within a game session or after the closing of the actual session, while respecting the AAMS provision regarding:
- the time limit within which the list of winners must be published;
- the time limit within which the winnings or reimbursement must be credited;
- the conditions to which the possibility of requesting the cancellation of a right to participate or a session are subject.
Messages 200, 240, 260 and 320 are singular in number, that is, they can be sent only once within the game session, while the remaining messages may be sent more than once per session.
Message 240 may not be sent in the case of a game session involving a single player.
Message 260 is sent only once for games of the competition type, but will be sent a number of times equal to the number of wins taking lace within a single player session.
Message 280 must be sent only once for each player; in the case in which the player wins more than once in one session, the total sum must be shown.
Message 290 must be sent just once for each ticket in respect of which the cancellation proposal has been accepted.

Source text - Italian Protocollo
per le
Scommesse a Quota Fissa
INTRODUZIONE
Il PSQF è un protocollo applicativo per la gestione delle Scommesse a Quota Fissa.
1. ENTITÀ COINVOLTE
I soggetti coinvolti nell'utilizzo del protocollo sono: l’Amministrazione Autonoma dei Monopoli di Stato, i Fornitori del servizio di Connettività, i Concessionari e il Totalizzatore Nazionale.
Nel presente documento i nomi dei soggetti sono abbreviati secondo le seguenti sigle:
Entità
Sigla
Amministrazione autonoma dei monopoli di Stato
AAMS
Fornitore del Servizio di Connettività
FSC
Concessionario
CN
Punto Vendita
PVEND
Terminale di accettazione gioco
TAG
Totalizzatore Nazionale
TN
2. ALLINEAMENTO APPLICATIVO
Una transazione PSQF è intesa come una sequenza di messaggi “richiesta risposta” scambiati tra un client ed un server; la sequenza è identificata univocamente tramite un apposito campo del protocollo obbligatorio in ciascun messaggio.
Il client è tenuto a valorizzare il campo identificativo della transazione nel messaggio di richiesta ed il server restituisce, nella risposta, il medesimo valore permettendo al client di associare i messaggi di risposta alla richiesta.
Il client che non dovesse ricevere la risposta attesa è autorizzato, secondo gli intervalli della tabella:
4 secondi
Prima retry
10 secondi
Seconda retry
30 secondi
Dalla terza retry in poi
a ripetere la richiesta mantenendo inalterato il campo identificativo di transazione.
Questa regola consente di ottenere l’allineamento applicativo ovvero:
• Il client che dovesse ricevere una risposta con un identificativo di transazione diverso da quello inviato in richiesta, ha la possibilità di scartare tale risposta in attesa di quella corretta;
• Il server elabora la richiesta che ha ricevuto, invia la risposta al client e ne memorizza il contenuto. Nel caso in cui il server dovesse ricevere una richiesta, dallo stesso client contenente il medesimo identificativo di transazione, restituisce la risposta memorizzata senza elaborare nuovamente il messaggio. Il recupero del messaggio di risposta dal server è possibile esclusivamente per l’ultima transazione elaborata.
E' obbligatorio che ciascun client generi un identificativo di transazione differente tra due transazioni consecutive.
Il client è tenuto ad inviare la richiesta fino al ricevimento della risposta per tutti i messaggi che comportano la variazione dei dati presenti sul server.

INTRODUCTION
PSQF is an applications protocol for managing Fixed Price Betting.
1.1 Subjects involved
The subjects involved in the use of this protocol are: the Independent Administration of State Monopolies, the Concession holder, the Service Connection Provider and the National Totaliser.
Throughout this document, the names of subjects are represented by the following abbreviations:
Subject Acronym
Independent Administration of State Monopolies AAMS
Concession holders CN
FSC Connection Service Supplier FSC
National Totaliser TN
A PCP protocol is used to exchange messages between the FSC and TN, which, depending on the circumstance, behaves either as a Client or as a Server.
Page 5 of101
PAGE 6 OF 101
1.2 Application alignment
Any client who does not receive a response is authorized to try sending the same message again after expiry of a timeout (10 seconds), without changing the content in any way. In such cases, if the server receives the same message two or more times, it will return a response with the relevant error message, which shows, (e.g. for a game), the recorded previous play itself.
It is therefore important that clients of the National Totaliser, who, in the relevant subnet, receive the same request from their terminals at regular intervals throughout the day, forward them only once to the server of the National Totaliser, unless a timeout is verified.

PAGE. 7 OF101
2 Coding Conventions
The following describes the type of data used to send messages in this protocol:
Type Description
string An alphanumeric field of variable length, with characters used for each byte
in byte singoli
numeric A field of whole decimal numbers of variable length, in which each digit represents one byte.
quale ciascuna cifra occupa un byte
XML A complete XML DTD packet: Base 64 encoded.
All numeric fields specified in messages contain only integer values, without punctuation to indicate thousands.
All fields in messages that contain amounts are expressed in euro cents.
All fields of the messages that contain percentage values are rounded to two decimal places and lack a separator for the decimal digits themselves.
If a field does not contain significant values, it will be set to zero
The format of the XML text is UNIX-type, consequently the end of each line is
marked by a single character "new line" (decimal ASCII coding: 10).

App-et-IT - Specialist Translators for the IT and Telecoms Industry (Partner Company: Translations.com)
App-et-IT offer a highly-respected website localization, software localization, GMS (Globalization Management System) software products, and enterprise-level, professional translation service. Backed by our ISO 9001:2000-certified quality management system, our translation solutions allow a diverse array of clients to deliver local language products, services, applications, training, and content in a culturally appropriate manner. By allowing our clients to compete more effectively in the global marketplace, we help them grow internationally.
Online Portfolio
We're proud of the company we keep. We can help your small company grwo - a few case studies are listed here:<>
Software Localization
Our software localization services can help you succeed in the global market by adapting your products and software applications to other languages. Our processes ensure the final product is functionally, linguistically, and culturally flawless.
Software localization involves separate and distinct workflows for the adaptation of the user interface, help files, and technical documentation. However, these separate processes must be coordinated well, to ensure maximum cost savings, fastest time-to-market, and superior consistency in the final product.
We use best-practice technology to facilitate, and whenever possible, automate, each step of the localization process. From the initial identification and extraction of localizable elements, to the re-engineering and final testing of the multiple language versions, we aim to build quality into every stage.
Our translators are all post-graduates: our system involves analysing complex and seemingly daunting tasks, quickly breaking them down into their key components, and applying a process-oriented approach to produce successful localization of your products and applications. Whether we are creating a build environment, resizing dialogue boxes, tracking and fixing bugs, managing version control, writing test scripts, or simply taking screen shots, our localization engineers combine the industry's most advanced technical knowledge with a client-focused sense of urgency. The result is nothing less that the most comprehensive localization solution available on this site.
Document Translation
With expertise in all applications, we draw upon our knowledge in every major European language and US/UK idioms. We can translate complex documents on Mac or PC platforms, and deliver the electronic file type you prefer.
Our list of freelance graphic artists, technology specialists, and linguists work together to ensure that the unique requirements of each language are met.
Customer Service
Years of experience in providing the highest-quality service enable us to provide unparalleled document translation services. We have put together the most skilled document translation teams on this site, and offer full-service translation support using the latest technology and systems, 24/7.
We can deliver electronic files and any requested output to meet tight deadlines and accommodate last-minute requests.
Quality Assurance
We have developed a process that enables us to produce flawless translations that read as if they were originally crafted in the target language. Every project has two professional linguists: a translator, and an editor/proofreader, who work together to create and perfect each translation.
At App-et-IT, we lever our knowledge of your preferences, and requirements to create business solutions that successfully meet your needs.
Regulatory Compliance Translation
Our clients operate in highly regulated industries, and know all too well the immense effort required to achieve and stay current with regulatory compliance requirements. Offering service and technology focusing on addressing compliance issues in the global marketplace makes us stand out from the crowd.
For clients who manufacture medical and in-vitro diagnostic devices, obtaining the CE Mark designation means opening the door to the large and potentially lucrative EU market. However, obtaining the CE Mark is not without translation challenges. Our solutions help a wide range of clients comply with all relevant EU directives. Further, we help our clients stay abreast of the latest movement in the shifting rules of compliance.
Whilst there is no magic compass to navigate the immense translation requirements brought on by the current onslaught of regulation, there are ways to make it less painful. We work with you to establish a translation process that can make multilingual compliance issues as painless as possible.

GMS Technology Solutions
Globalization Management Systems
App-et-IT are in the business of helping clients to succeed in the global marketplace. As we can only be described accurately as part localization service provider, part leading edge globalization technology product company, and part consultant, we help our clients in several ways:
GlobalLink GMS
We have conducted exhaustive research into what our clients are looking for in a Globalization Management System and, through our GlobalLink product, we offer the most scalable, flexible and turnkey solution available on the market. From a service provider's perspective, we understands your needs in a Globalization Management System. Leveraging existing infrastructure and fitting seamlessly into a client's workflow is the hidden value of GlobalLink. When combined with our service offerings, the end-to-end solution we supply is unrivaled on this site.
Working with Third-Party Technology Solutions
We are a services company at heart. When a competitor product is already installed, or best suits a client's needs, we are happy to be on the team and translating. Furthermore, we are capable of adapting third-party technology solutions to our production processes and supplying our clients with an outsourced translation resource pool to fulfill their requirements of doing business globally.
Custom Development Projects
Off-the-shelf is a great approach when it works. However, the truth is that no single product can address the content localization requirements of every single situation in every single company. Therefore, in order to meet the unique business requirements of certain customers, We work hard to to gather requirements, build a business case, architect a customer solution, and support and maintain that solution. We are a partner of unmatched skill, creativity and technology prowess in the multilingual arena. If you'd like to discuss putting this power to work for your organization, please contact us.
App-et-IT has handled the localization requirements related to some fairly large SAP localizations. Of work completed for ERP initiatives, the vast majority has been for SAP implementations.
Our SAP localization work has ranged from a direct engagement with one of the world's largest pharmaceutical companies to partnering with other companies to deliver in-language SAP materials to one of the world's premier beverage companies.
Maximizing the return on investment for an ERP initiative is no small challenge. Given the level of financial and human resource commitment required to streamline operations with SAP, our clients turn to us to help them make sure that ROI is not evaporated at the final stage.
How do you make sure the end-user adopts and embraces the deployment? Presenting material in the local language, clearly and comprehensively, can be the difference between success and failure in a global SAP deployment. If the materials are not presented in a clear and understandable manner, it is easy to see how the benefits from running a global ERP won't be realized.
Image Localization & Translation
You'd be hard-pressed to find a piece of marketing literature, a website, a software application, an online training module, or a piece of technical documentation that doesn't make use of images to convey meaning.
Preparation makes all the difference, both in crafting an effective localization strategy for graphical assets and in overcoming the challenges inherent to the process.
We work with clients to understand the technical challenges. Text expansion, which may be 25% or more, is the most common technical challenge; however, other challenges can include embedding graphics, and making layered or unflattened images easily available to the localization team.
We all know a picture conveys a thousand words. With all the advantages that come with being able to carry that much meaning in one graphical asset also comes responsibility. Our customers trust us to make certain our deliverables are completely adapted to their target audience. Our linguists know the markets and our project managers do the research.
Understanding the technical issues in image localization and applying proven solutions can save significant costs and time. Understanding the cultural issues can save your reputation in the global marketplace.
We specialize in adapting highly branded, customer-facing materials. We understand the immense trust that our clients place in us everyday and we do not take this responsibility lightly.
