How to have a translated version of my RH project

[Laura28513373qpqw]

Hi,

suppose having a full RH project in ENG, my goal would be to have the same project translated in another language (for example, Italian). 

I would like to have one project, which means one zip folder, where the project language can be switched between English and Italian. 

Is there anyone who attempted to reach this same goal?

Thanks for helping!

There is a long outstanding feature request that users can open a page giving the choice of language. As I say, it is long outstanding.

You can create a simple page with links to both. That would be a separate project with links to the two outputs.

The correct reference is at this link https://helpx.adobe.com/it/robohelp/using/translation.html, isn't it? I would very much like to avoid the creation of different projects... It would be best to automate the translation process with a button, for example, that translates the entire page

That is how it is done and that will create two projects, the original language and the other language. They are separate outputs. It is explained here. https://www.grainge.org/RoboHelp_Tour/rh2022/authoring/translations.htm

What I think you want is a translation on the fly. A browser will do that but it will not translate the search, TOC and so on. Also it may not handle technical terms too well.

With RoboHelp it is one project per language. Sorry but that's the way it has to be so that searches, TOC, variables and so on all get translated.

Actually the browser only translates the TOC, without translating the content of the page itself. That is why I was wondering if there was an automatic way to translate the page. I will surely check the link you shared, thanks!

But if any other person has different suggestions, please do! 🙂

In most browsers if you click in the topic there will be a translation option.
