Subject:RE: Translating a RoboHelp WebHelp file From:"Mike Starr" <writstar -at- wi -dot- net> To:"TECHWR-L" <techwr-l -at- lists -dot- raycomm -dot- com> Date:Fri, 4 Jan 2002 03:07:48 -0600
I'm currently doing a project for a translation company where I'm the
RoboHelp pilot (they don't have one on staff) for an HTML Help project. I
had the translation company export the project with the Generate>>Printed
Documentation menu item, then use the Tools>>Reports>>Table of Contents and
Tools>>Reports>>Index menu items and save the results as .RTF files. Then I
had them send those documents to their translators.
Once I receive the translated versions of those documents I can replace the
text in each topic with the translated text.
Had this been a WinHelp project, the whole thing could have been done by
sending the translators the oriiginal .RTF files. Feel free to give me a
holler if you want any help.
I suppose it's possible there could have been a more efficient way of doing
it but that was what I came up with.
Mike
