Help on Additional Languages
Page Overview
[Hide]It was a prerequisite that ILIAS can handle several help packages. This prerequisite was fulfilled with ILIAS 9.
1 Initial Problem
The help is only presented in German. ILIAS cannot offer the Help File in the language selected by the user if it is other than German.
2 Conceptual Summary
- Imported Help Packages have a language property, set upon import.
- ILIAS should present Help in the language the user has selected, if there is a help package in that language.
- The online Help Package has a master language A and one or more translations B.
- ILIAS presents to the help in master language A to all users that set their user language to A
- ILIAS presents to the help in translation language B to all users that set their user language to B.
- ILIAS presents the help in language B to all users that set their user language to C, D. This needs a control to be implemented.
Note: This feature reuest does not deal with actually translating the file or the process of translation. See Process for Translating the Online Help
