Localizing Access Protocol Information
When you chose an access protocol, SayMore displays information about that protocol such as descriptions of the access choices it offers.
The Localize User Interface Items dialog box cannot localize Access Protocol information. The reason is that this information is not in individual text strings that are independently localizable. Instead, these are stored in HTML files (such as reap.html) which are installed with SayMore.
Advanced users can localize text in a copied HTML file as following:
-
Make a note the locale ID of the target language.
To find the IDs for existing localized versions of SayMore, look at the *.tmx files which are typically in C:\Program Files (x86)\SayMore.
The ID is the portion of the file name between the two periods. For example, SayMore.es.tmx is Spanish (Español).
-
Open the Archiving folder in the folder where SayMore is installed.
This is typically C:\Program Files (x86)\SayMore\Archiving.
-
If there is not already a sub-folder named with the locale ID of the target language, create a folder using the ID as the folder name.
See the existing es folder for an example.
-
Copy one or more existing access protocol HTML file (such as reap.html) that you want to localize. Paste them in the folder you created in step 3.
If the folder already existed, be careful not to accidentally overwrite any existing localized HTML file. You can copy the original English version or any existing localized version of the file(s) to use as a basis for your new localized version.
Do not change the names of these files.
-
Open a copied file using an HTML editor or plain text editor.
-
Translate only the text that appears in SayMore. Be careful to not change the formatting tags.
-
Save the file(s).
-
Verify the translated information appears correctly:
-
Start SayMore.
-
Change the User Interface language to the applicable language.
-
Click the Project tab, and then click Access Protocol.
-
Read the translated information. Edit the file again, if necessary.
-
-
To get your translation work into the next version of SayMore, e-mail your translated HTML file(s) to:
If you cannot wait for the next version of the SayMore, you can still share your localization with others. Put a copy of the localized subfolder with the HTML files into the Archiving folder on their computers.
Note
-
Only languages that have translated UI strings will appear as choices in the User Interface Language dialog box. If you have translated the Access Protocol HTML files into a particular locale, at least some of the UI must also be translated into that locale in order to be able to select it as the UI language.
