Multi-language-Project

Question

Hello,I have do develop a WebHelp-project in 6 languages. The result shall be a contextsensitive WebHelp (called via URL). The Problem is, I dont want to call the different langauges bymyHelp_en/index.htm#path/ContextTopic.htmmyHelp_es/index.htm#path/ContextTopic.htm...which means, I have 6 different projects on the server. I know, that there are condition-tags, but they are only good for generating different outputs,right? I need ONE output and a condition for "what to show" Is it possible to create ONE big project and then call the language by a parameter likemyHelp/index.htm#path/ContextTopic.htm?lang=enmyHelp/index.htm#path/ContextTopic.htm?lang=es...This would be a much smoother solution, maybe it is even possible to change the language inside the WebHelp-framework by a drop-down-menu.Anyone has got experience with that?I'm using German RoboHelp 9.0.1.232 on Windows XPP.S. Sorry for my bad english

As you are using RH9 you could use the Dynamic User Centric Control (DUCC) facility. This would allow you to generate a single help file and allow the user to select from a drop down the language they want to see inside the help. The option chosen in effect filters the output that is displayed. From your perspective, this works in much the same way as conditional text. Check out the link below for a good tour of the features inside RH9 included DUCC.
