Question

Can our translators easily localize "Home" text in Breadcrumbs?

Our testers noticed this problem in the breadcrumbs in a help generated from a localized RH project:

Notice that the "Home" text in the breadcrumbs is always in English. I hoped if I specified the non-English language in the RH's project settings, it would automatically localize these,  but this doesn't happen. Is there a way to expose these strings, so that our translators can localize "Home" into the equivalent non-English text? I know you can change the breadcrumb format and type in new text that way, but our translators don't have RH and so can't access it that way. Is there a text file somewhere that contains these strings?

That verbage is in the .lng file - you can get at it via the Project settings > Language tab IIRC.

Hmm. I already looked in the LNG file and didn't see "Home" listed at all. I'll look again.

Hi Peter. Maybe, but I'm not sure I understand. Can you give an example?


You have a project that is effectively a template, you copy all the French files back into a copy and all the German files back into another copy and so on, correct?

In that template you currently have one layout. Rename that WebHelp English. Now duplicate it and name the copy WebHelp French. After duplicating it, open the layout and change Home to Maison and change the output folder to wherever you want the French help. Repeat for all other languages.

Your template will then have say five WebHelp layouts and when you drop the files for any one language, you use the appropriate WebHelp layout.
