Because there are a wide range of Help technologies around, the preparation of Help for Translation is a reasonably involved one. However, there are a number of basic steps that are common to all Help projects:
- Open and generate the Help.
- Examine source files to ensure that they build correctly and thatthere are no missing topics, graphics, or other files.
- Analyze the Help files to identify which files require translation.
- Isolate translatable files
- Prepare translatable files. If necessary make changes to Tag Editor ini file for JavaScript or other scripting. If necessary prepare translation instructions.
- Analyze files against memory.
- Translate using HTML translation tool.
