[Xerte] Re: managing language versions of Xerte LO

[Ron Mitchell]

Hi

Tom may have a cleverer way to do this but you certainly shouldn't have to
re-create the LO from scratch. Two possibilities I can think of but as I say
Tom may have a better solution.

 

Method 1.

Once your LO is produced select the Duplicate option in the workspace to
create a complete copy of your LO. Then use properties to rename it and the
edit window to change the text.

 

Method 2

Once your LO is produced export it, extract the exported zip and edit the
text in the xml with a suitable code editor. Then zip up and import back
changing the name accordingly. Less user friendly but potentially more
efficient.

Subject: [Xerte] managing language versions of Xerte LO

 

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
