Multiple language workflow

I have several projects in RoboHelp 11 that are complete in English, but now we are translating the content. I have read through the multiple language workflow instructions in the help, but I can't seem to interpret what they are saying. This step from the help files is very difficult to follow:
Open an English topic, create a topic for the French language, and translate the content, including the topic title from English to French. (Do not translate topic filenames.)
It is not possible to have two topics in the same project with the same filename...how would this even work? Do I need to create separate folders for topics for each language? I currently have topic htm files and table of contents translated for the project I'm working on, but I just don't know what to do with them now. I have been scouring the internet and these forums, but everytime I think I find something worthwhile, it's a dead link. I just want to know what the basic workflow is for adding topic files for other languages and generating output. If anyone can help that would be fantastic!
Thanks,
Melissa

I have asked Adobe to reinstate an article that covered what you want. I'll let you now when I hear back.

  • Doubt in multiple language

    Hi ,Guy ,
        I used the standard task TS90100074 to send mail .I want to know how to define the multiple language in mail subject and its context ?
        And also ,maybe I  can copy these task into customizing task ,the use the customizing task in my workflow template .
       Anybody have other good way to realize it ,thanks .

    Jialiang - Check this thread below. Partly would answer your question. And yes, if you need ,multiple languages in the same subject instance, then use copy of the std. SAP Mail step, as a last option.

  • Sending Notification to Multiple Users in Multiple Language.

    Hi,
    In our Apps (R12) environment, workflow is installed in multiple languages. I have a requirement where User can choosed their preferred email language and all notification should be sent to that user only in the preferred language.
    Below is the logic that I am using:
    1) Creating adhoc users for the email addresses and passing user preferred language as 'language' parameter. This language is different for different users.
    2) creating adhoc role and attaching all previosuly created adhoc users to this role.
    Here is where problem comes...
    Notification is going only in the language that is specified while creating adhoc role. This is overwriting languages that are being specified while creating adhoc users !! I even tried not to pass any language while creating role but in that case it is taking language for that session...
    Is there any way to achieve this functionality?
    Thanks,
    Sumit

    Hi,
    Are you expanding the role in the definition?
    I would expect that if you are notifying a role, then the language of the role is used, unless you expand the roles - in which case the language for the users which are part of the role would be used.

  • Any PLM4P Info on Multiple Language Configuration & Usage?

    Are there any white papers or tutorials on how to best configure custom data elements in PLM4P application for multiple languages? We can translate with free text cells on custom sections, but I cannot find avenues to translate spec classification data and taxomony in ADMN or workflow status in WFA, etc ... so that we can configure these items to display in the users' UI language which is not English.

    Setting alternate language values for some of these data admin items, like Specification Categories, must be done via database scripts.
    Please back up your database prior to performing inserts.
    Spec Categories are grouped by spec type (eg, 1004 for Material/Ingredient Spec, 2147 for Trade Spec, etc). The following query shows the various spec category groups.
    SELECT * FROM commonTaxonomyNamespace order by NamespaceID
    For Trade Specs, for instance, the NamespaceID is GSMTaxonomy2147, and the PKID you'll need is '21404D2D82BE-9342-4938-91F1-26D2DB1327A7'
    To see the values of the Trade spec categories, you can run the following:
    SELECT * FROM commonSMILTaxonomyNode cat
    inner join commonSMILTaxonomyNodeML catName on cat.pkid = catName.fkSMILTaxonomyNode
    where cat.fkTaxonomyNamespace = '21404D2D82BE-9342-4938-91F1-26D2DB1327A7'
    To insert new translations to an existing entry, you'll have to insert into the commonSMILTaxonomyNodeML using the same PKID and fkSMILTaxonomyNode values, but a different langID value. To see an example of multiple language values in this table, run the following, which will show the '* No Category Available' values:
    SELECT * FROM commonSMILTaxonomyNode cat
    inner join commonSMILTaxonomyNodeML catName on cat.pkid = catName.fkSMILTaxonomyNode
    where cat.fkTaxonomyNamespace = '21404D2D82BE-9342-4938-91F1-26D2DB1327A7'
    and fkSMILTaxonomyNode ='2141144016E5-3EB4-498E-B45C-F18187C2E7D7'

  • Database storage of multiple languages for name of a single entity

    Surely I'm not the first person to have this problem, but I can't find many resources on how to solve this. Just some background on what I'm working with, I'm running a web application using the Struts framework with jdk 1.4 on a Weblogic 8.1 server connected to an Oracle 9i database, I'm using DAO for my persistence layer, and I'm not opposed to using any 3rd party software to assist in this task.
    For example, say I have a database of DVDs, My application will retrieve the list of DVDs from the database to display to the user. Depending on the user's Locale I want to display the title of the DVD in that language.
    This is a simple example, but the real-world application is much more complicated. The application is highly configurable meaning that through a configuration application, my internal users can add DVDs at any time, edit the title of the DVD, or add a new language that they want the title to display in, etc. When a customer logs in to the application front-end they will be able to change the language they want the application to display in at any time, and the application will need to reflect that change. The display of constant text like field labels and page text is easy using Struts but its this configurable dynamic text thats a bit more difficult.
    Its obvious to me that I will need to store the multiple languages in the database in some way, I'm thinking of either storage in some xml format, or a new table hanging off the "dvd" table with languages for each dvd. Either of these options would work for my purposes, but I don't want to go reinvent the wheel when this same problem has arleady been solved. If someone could point me in the right direction I would appreciate it

    One common way to handle this is to modify your key for the dvd title to include a locale identifier:
    key dvdtitle
    becomes
    key locale dvdtitle
    Now your db can hold multiple translations of the same dvd title.

  • Why do I get a popup message in multiple languages requiring a shutdown and restart

    Why do I keep getting a popup message in multiple languages requiring a shutdown and restart?  Has been going on for a few months.  Because of the shutdown reports have been sent to Apple upon restart.

    After it restarted, did you see a dialog box resembling this one:
    If so, next time it occurs click Report...
    Before you send it to Apple, copy the text of the report. Paste it in a reply. Remove or obscure any personal information, should it appear.
    If problems continues to occur please determine if they also occur in "Safe Mode":
    Safe Mode or "Safe Boot" is a troubleshooting mode that bypasses all third party system extensions and loads only required system components. Read about it: Starting up in Safe Mode
    Starting your Mac in Safe Mode will take longer than usual, graphics will not render smoothly, audio is disabled on some Macs, and some programs (iTunes for example) may not work at all.
    To end Safe Mode restart your Mac normally. Shutdown will take longer as well.

  • When trying to load multiple language versions of an ibook onto my iPad only the first document loads

    We have a sales tool that we have created for one of our clients in iBooks Author. They need the iBook creating in various languages.
    We need to be able to supply the multiple versions of the same document (in the different languages) to our client and they need to be able to install the different versions onto their iPads. And they want the options of having multiple language versions on the same iPads.
    We have already created two language versions of the document (a US English and an International English version).
    The two documents have different file names, (although they are based on the same document). We have just changed the spelling of some words accordingly. (And we will be producing other language variants based on the master file).
    We export the two documents via the File > Export > iBooks option. Then we are using Dropbox to upload the two files. The files are then accessed via the Dropbox App on the iPad.
    We can download the first document (International English) onto the iPad and view it as normal, but when we try and then download the other document (US English) it downloads in the Dropbox App, but when you click on view in iBooks it opens the first (International English) document into iBooks.
    You can only appear to have one version of the document installed at any one time. If you delete the first one you can then load the second one fine, but not both at the same time. If the file names are different it must be getting the identity of the document from somewhere else.
    This has only started happening since using iBooks Author 2.
    Can anyone offer any suggestions please. I've tried changing the version number in the option on export, but this doesn't seem to affect the result.
    Thanks in advance for any suggestions
    John

    Further to my earlier post we have now completed a test by saving our original document as a template, then creating a new document from the template, making necessary changes and saving as a new file. We can now upload the two separate versions to our iPad.
    You cannot "duplicate" the file in any way, either by the File > Duplicate method from within iBooks Author or by simply Duplicating the original .iba file in the Finder, as this will cause the problem outlined above. By Duplicating you are obviously also duplicating this "hidden metadata" which is stored somewhere within the file which iBooks on the iPad is using to identify the documents. So unless Apple update the software to allow us to change that metadata we are stuck to using the Templates route. (Didn't have this problem on the last version of iBooks Author).
    This works for what we are trying to do, which is create different language variants of the same book.
    Working from Templates is probably the correct way to do it anyway, but might not necessarily be right for everyone.
    Working in iBooks Author is proving to be a rather testing experience. You certainly need the patience of a Saint. Not sure it's of the standard we expect from Apple, but then I guess, as they are giving it away "free", they think they don't have to offer any support for it.
    I think I would prefer to pay a fee for it and have a support route from Apple, rather than rely on a community of equally frustrated users who are all playing guinea pig and simply sharing their workarounds for a half baked product.
    Good luck to everyone!!! 

  • With Pages 5.2 how can i use multiple language types in a single document

    My Macbook Air Has the version 10.9.3
    I'm used to work with the old version of Page.
    But now I am using the new version of Pages 5.2 (1860).
    I want to know with the new version how do I use an multiple language types in a single document option.
    In the old  version of Pages I was using  Inspector -> Text -> "More" tab -> Language: British Inglese.
    In the new Pages 5.2 I do not know how to do it
    Could you help me?
    melo

    It's not possible to tag text with multiple languages in Pages 5.  Go back to Pages 4, which should still be in you iWork folder.
    For the whole doc in Pages 5, use Edit > Spellling and Grammar > Show Spelling and Grammar.

  • Multiple languages autocorrect issues

    On my iPhone, I added multiple languages and on the keyboard appears the 'globe' to choose one before writing an email. That way, autocorrect adjusts to that language. I added languages to my MacBook Air Air as well, but autocorrect sticks with English and makes my writing in other languages diffcult. Is there a way to have that same iPhone feature for my MacBook (and not having to switch languages in settings or turn off autocorrect)?

    Not really.  OS X works totally differently in this area than iOS, the keyboard setting being irrelevant.  The most you can do is go to system preferences/language & text/text/spelling/setup and check the boxes for the languages you want and then set it to "automatic" and see whether it does anything useful for you.

  • How to accept multiple languages in a single report.

    Hi,
    We have a Web I report built based on universe(Oracle DB- Utf-8 codepage), In Data base tables there is a data with multiple languages. But when I run Web I report it is showing the data which is in english but data other than english is showing inverted "?". Could any one please suggest me how the data to be supported in all languages for the Web I report.
    Thanks,
    Mallareddy D.

    You should be creating a universe using the table with filter utilizing a column which accepts a parameter value of language and shows the data in that specific language. This concept is already used in SAP standard audit universe which accepts language for any query and shows the data in that language.. The logic for the derived column for the table should look something like below Table.LANGUAGE = @Prompt(Select language)

  • Multiple language data in the same table and indexes

    We have 8.1.5 database with
    NLS_LANGUAGE=ENGLISH and NLS_TERRITORY=UNITED KINGDOM set at the database level. We also set the NLS_LANG appropriately when we index the data. We also use the preference setting BASE_LETTER=YES when indexing.
    Our tables contain book titles which is what we index using interMedia. Being an online book store, this table may contain titles in English (most of the titles are in English being UK) and some titles in French. Please note the French language has accents and diacritics. Normally in a French database with NLS parameters set correctly and BASE_LETTER=YES, if we search for a title with accent / diacritic it will return the record correctly and match the rows with or without the accents (e.g. searching for video will return both vidio (not the accent on e) and video). However, with the UK settings the accents are not ignored during indexing and it only returns the records that exactly match the search word (e.g. searching for video returns only video and searching for vidio returns only vidio (note the accents on e in the last two videos)).
    Question: Is there any way to appropriately index multiple language specific titles in the same database? If yes, how? Is it possible at all? Suggestions, ideas are welcome.
    null

    Similar request; if there are several different languages used in a database, but a search word can be typed in by anyone and not necessarily in the default language, I still want to be able to pick up all the records (including text in blobs) in any language where my search word = the equivelant word in the other languages; eg. searching on "tree", the search would bring back a document that contained "l'arbre". I then want to set the default language, and allow the user to select a "search in these languages" option to expand the search from the default "tree" to all languages in the database.
    I know about the multi_Lexer but does it extend functionality to this level?

  • Best practice in working with Adobe forms in multiple languages

    We have to provide access to some Adobe Interactive Forms in both English and French, some of them from Web Dynpro application(s), some of them as callable objects from Guided Procedures.
    1- We know for sure that we can have two copies of each form, one in English and one in French but that implies duplicating the FormCalc and Javascript code behind. 
    2- Another way if to modify in javascript all labels, captions using some javascript i.e. If lang = "E" then "My label" else "Mon étiquette" . It would work but it is not very efficient.
    Is someone here has experience with this type of situation and would be willing to share his experience with me?
    Thanks in advance,

    Hi Benoit,
    For Adobe Forms in multiple language you can use include text solution also . Within this solution you need to add a language parameter in your interface and then retrieve the include text in the language value ( not current language ) . Personnaly i used a lot this solution with Smartforms text .
    Also i used dictionnary text for text linked with data dictionnary element . For this there is standard function module in SAP .
    Anothers way is in the SFP editor you can translate your form as in SAPSCRIPT .
    Hope this help you
    Regard.
    PS : if necessary i can send you a sample form with smartform/Dictionnary text solution.

    Thank you
    Mourya

    Hi!!!
    First of all .. Thanks a lot for ur valuable time and suggestions. Coming to the topic... i have used all these unicodes. Could you please tell me that would it be possible to set multiple languages to a tabbedpane at a time? (in the context of missing of keys setting other language key to that missed one).
