[Xerte] Re: managing language versions of Xerte LO

More by our processes of handling translations in general. We translate to customer languages in various formats, UI and database texts and documentation. However, main requirement is to be able to use translation memory for speed and consistency.

:-) I was too slow in responding and in any case my reply may be delayed as usual anyway :-(

I wonder if the question is influenced by the method to achieve this in tools like Articulate Storyline? With that tool you can export a file for language translation which creates a Word document with original text alongside translated text which once translated can be imported back.

To be honest in some ways it's already easier to do this in XOT by method 1 e.g. not much difference editing text in the XOT editor than editing table columns in a Word doc assuming the editor can be given access to XOT. But perhaps a future enhancement might be an translator view where all the LO pages are displayed in the editor in a single scrolling editor page? Possibly easier to achieve than export/import of the xml.

Hi,

That's an interesting proposition.

In the mean time, there are two ways of doing it now:

1. Make a copy of the LO and than translate the texts while keeping the original open
2. The actual texts are in the template.xml file in the .zip (after export). You could trying to translate this file, but you really have to be careful and knowledgeable to know what to translate, and what to leave alone. NOT RECOMMENDED.

Hi!

What is the best way to manage Xerte learning object language versions? Once a LO is produced, we frequently need to produce various language versions of the same object. Is there a way to extract texts from a LO for translation and import them to the LO, without the need to build the translated LO from scratch?

Kind regards,
Mari
