Glossary in Chinese

  • March 17, 2018

I am trying to use the glossary HTML5 interaction in Chinese.  When I enter any Chinese character in the word label, the word disappears from the glossary.  All other words with western characters appear fine.

Any ideas on how to make this work?

I never use the Glossary myself, which means it is not a basic feature to me Everyone has other ideas about what is basic and not. I love to use the TOC to allow navigation, but I don't see why I would need a Glossary in each course module? Although I am very focussed on correct terminology, as you would see in my blog, I don't find it necessary to have that reference in each course module, would offer it in a pdf format that can be reached from within any couse module, instead of having such an interaction in each module.

If you want it anyway, it can perfectly be created as a custom Glossary, which you can design to be reached from any slide. This blog post is not about a glossary, but about going to Help slides from any slide, and getting back. Maybe it could give you some ideas.

I'm not astonished because that is a pretty old interaction. It doesn't accept combination characters either (most West-European languages have a lot of those). Can you try to contact Adobe? Tell them which language version of Captivate you are using.

Thanks for your comment Lilybiri.  I don't know Captivate in depth but I am surprised to learn how basic features such as a glossary are missing not fully functioning (even in the latest version of Captivate).
