new to cloverleaf

You may want to check out the translation configurator.  It will require some reading and learning, but it will be easier than trying to learn tcl.

I would also encourage you to lobby your management to send you to the training classes.  When I was first handed Cloverleaf responsibility I was a Cobol programmer.  I did not attend any classes for 6 months.  After attending classes though I was doing in hours what had took me days simply because I then knew the toolset available.  I highly encourage anyone new to the software to attend the training.  In my experience it really did pay for itself in man hours saved.
