Could you help me creating a multilingual project in RH10 (using Trados for translations).

Hi,

I used to create a multilingual project in RH8 few years ago but can't read the files anymore. Could you give me advice so that I could rebuilt a multilingual project quickly. The procedure in the online help is too short and I fail when following it.

Thanks in advance.

Hi Sandrine.

Can you be more specific about your problem and we will try to help. What does "can't read the files" mean? Can you open the RH8 project? What happens when you do?

Hi Thank you for your reply.

In fact I wanted to use my former project just to see how I managed it. But it is "damaged" when I want ti open it after the RH update. Now I have RH10 and not RH8 anymore.

I need help on creating a multilingual project with RH10.

In the RH Help document, the procedure is :

Apply French language project settings by selecting French Language.

2 Open an English topic, create a topic for the French language, and translate the content, including the topic title from

English to French. (Do not translate topic filenames.)

3 Create French tables of contents, indexes, and glossaries.

4 Create a conditional build tag, such as FrenchContent.

5 Apply the FrenchContent conditional build tag to French content and topics.

6 Generate output for the French language.

When I create topics with same names, I have a Error message "The file already exists". May be it will work in different folders.

I'll try and let you know.

Thanks for helping.

Hi again,

It seems that if I create different folder for the different languages it works.

The procedure should be updated so that it would be clearer for users.

I guss I don't need help anymore.

Thanks

You got there on your own. RoboHelp file names work the same as any other Windows application. You can't have two files in the same folder with the same file name.

Thank you for your help. Sometimes, sharing a reflexion on a subject helps to find a solution. I guess I needed that reflexion to find the solution.
