Switching languages in Captivate

Hey Captivaters
I've just started working with Captivate on an eLearning
project. I need to make our presentations bilingual (English &
French).
What I would like to do is have a user select which language
they prefer at the beginning of the presentation, then have the
captions change to match their language selection. It would also be
neat if I could pass their language selection in through parameters
in the HTML page, but that's a bit beyond this project.
There is no audio at this point, and if there were I would
simply create a second presentation for the other language.
Is what I'm asking possible?
Thanks!

Hi Mike Dub and welcome to our community
I would think this would require at least two different
Captivate files. Each file would be in its own language. At the
beginning, you would have a link that would point to the other in
the event the user wanted the other language.
Unfortunately there is simply no way to dynamically switch
the caption languages within the same movie.
One possibility might be to emulate something like SAP is
used with TVs. Insert closed captioning that would present in the
secondary language for each slide.
Cheers... Rick

HT5449 In my iPad I can easily switch languages by hitting the world icon. I have it set up to switch betwee english and spanish. I can use both in one document. Is there any way to do this on the mAC other than go to system preferences?

When I am dictating on my ipad, I can switch back and forth between languages by clicking the world icon. On the MAC it seems as though I have to go to system preferences and switch language there. That is a little cumbersome, Is there a way of switching on the MAC?

System Preferences/Language & Text/Input Sources - Select the languages you want and then Show Input menu in menu bar. This allows you to switch back and forth from the menu bar.

Can I switch language to english, in a Spanish Leopard version?

I am intending to upgrade to Leopad finally, but i have an issue before do it so. The only copy I can get is a spanish version, and my powerbook comes with english version Tiger. Would I be able to switch language during installation, and keep english in the OS?

As Niel pointed out already, yes you can select the language you want during initial setup.
It's important to note also that you can change the language at any time you want afterwards, as well, using the language settings located in System Preferences > International. I routinely switch back and forth between Finnish and English with my OS X installations.

Switching languages

Are there key commands I can use to switch languages? I use both chinese and english and if there a way to set up key commands to change between the two, it would be most helpful. A mouse is great but slower.
Thanks.

Thanks! I understand the keyboard part but how do I
find the language settings?
If you mean keyboard layouts or input methods, these are activated in system preferences/international/input menu. If you mean OS menus and dialogues language, this is determine by whatever language is at the top in system preferences/international/languages.
If you're referring to something else, let us know exactly what you are trying to do. For Chinese, this site has tons of info:

TS3772 Just because I live in Thailand it doesn't mean I want all the pop-up boxes to be Thai! Why is there no box to switch languages?

Why is there no box to switch languages? Just because I live in Thailand doesn't mean that I read and write in Thai. Please include a language box to switch languages at the front end of download pages and other places as needed.

Only Apple could answer as to why there is no "select all/"delete all" function in the iOS mail app. Users have been bemoaning this lack of functionality for years now. Like everyone else, you can submit feedback to. Apple here.
Apple - iPhone - Feedback
While I understand the whole idea of being able to use the phone on the run, if you have an IMAP email account, and if you have access to a computer at work during the day, use your "select all" function on the server and delete all of the unwanted email there and it will be removed from the phone as well.
That doesn't solve the problem on the phone, but it gets rid of the email which is your ultimate goal anyway.

Are you perhaps accidentally hitting the keyboard shortcut for switching keyboards, Apple/command plus space?

Switching language pref in iPad using wireless keyboard

The Apple Bluetooth wireless keyboard has no globe icon. Is there some shortcut I can use to switch languages (i.e., change the keyboard) when the wireless keyboard is connected to my iPad Air? I have several languages entered in Settings, so using the screen keyboard I can switch in a few seconds. Do I have to go into Settings and change the language there in order to use this feature when I'm on the wireless keyboard?

When I try your solution, I can indeed get Greek, but it is modern Greek, not Ancient/Attic--thus the accent and breathing marks are not part of the keyboard. Is there a way to download or access the Polytonic Greek keyboard?
Under iOS 7 and earlier, there were separate settings for Hardware keyboards, where you could specify Polytonic Greek. But these are gone in iOS 8, and I don't know whether there is any way to make it work.
For screen typing, you might try the app Keyman Pro, which I think has a polytonic greek keyboard.

Switch language on a Creative Cloud single-app photoshop

I just downloaded a Creative Cloud single-app photoshop, got a Danish version, but will prefer an English version. Can I switch language?

I just went through this earlier today. So much pain. Such experience.
First, you change the language in the Adobe Creative Cloud preferences, per the earlier referenced thread. http://forums.adobe.com/message/5906972#5906972
Next, click the download button on the Photoshop item in Apps in Creative Cloud. This will download the entire application again, so it will take some time, but will only install the new language file. This will NOT automatically change your language in any app...one more step...
Finally, in Photoshop, go into the Interface Preferences and set the interface language. Restart Photoshop. The interface should be in the selected language.
(for other apps you have to uninstall the app after setting the language in Creative Cloud, and then re-download and install through CC)

You need to select the text and apply:
Inspector > Text > More > Language > Français
So Pages knows what language to check it with. Language is like bold or color or font, it is part of the text style.

Dictation does not switch language

When I hit the language icon in the menu bar, it does not switch language like my ipad does. Is it possible that the ipad has more functionality than the mac book pro?

OS X and iOS are totally different is this area. The language icon in OS X only changes the keyboard, nothing else. Dictation language is set in system preferences. But there is also an easier way

Switching language in BBM

How can I switch languages when typing a BBM message? From French to English for example.
The spell checker transforms English words into French, like 'the' into 'thé' (tea).
I've English-speaking contacts and French-speaking contacts and bilingual contacts. I need an easy way to swap between national languages when typing messages.
Thanks.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Ok, got it in the parameters options.
But it takes a while before the Z30 understands I want suggestions in one language or the other. The switch of keyboard doesn't seem to switch suggestions at the same time.
