Before embarking on a big online help system project, I need to figure out
how I'm going to handle the translation of the help text.
My understanding is that the most cost- and time-effective way to deal with
translation is to create the help text in a database. I intend to design and
generate the help system in RoboHelp (web help). With this in mind, I need
to figure out how to get the help text out of the database and format it in
HTML without spending a murderously long time applying HTML formatting by
hand.
Does anyone on the list have experience with this? How did you do it? Any
advice about how to get the best results?
