Translating the ShopSite TX Screen Pack

Screen Pack Components

The ShopSite TX screen pack comprises two components that need to be translated: a set of images and a set of HTML screen templates.

Translating the Screen Pack Images

The allbuttons file in the screen_pack/images directory of the localization kit contains all of the text for the images that appear in the Commerce Center.

  1. Open the allbuttons file with a text editor.

  2. The file contains three columns of information, separated by tabs. Translate only the third column. The first column is a code, and the second column is the name of the gif file.

  3. Save the translated file as a plain text file. Keep the same file name.

  4. Run the following command from the directory that contains both the allbuttons file and the Makefile file. 
      make pre_LiveMotion

    The output of this command is a file called LoadMeIntoLiveMotion.

  5. Start Adobe LiveMotion and open the LoadMeIntoLiveMotion file. Verify the images.

  6. What about 
      make post_LiveMotion

Translating the Screen Pack Screens

The screens directory contains both HTML files and text files. Only the HTML files need to be translated. You must be an expert with HTML and knowledgeable about JavaScript to translate these files! Most of the text to be translated consists of words or short phrases that are contained within HTML and JavaScript structures; there are no long blocks of text to be translated. Do not make changes to the HTML or JavaScript, or the pages probably will not work.

Open each HTML file with a text editor and translate the non-HTML text. Save each file with the original file name.


Note:
Some WYSIWYG editors add unwanted HTML tags to files. For best results, use a text editor such as Notepad or emacs to edit the HTML files in the screen pack.
