Using Blueworx Voice Response to translate help text

To translate help text into another language, use this procedure and the editor that is provided with Blueworx Voice Response.

Help text is sometimes updated with Blueworx Voice Response PTFs. If you install a PTF after translating your help text, perform this procedure again.

Unless you have already translated the display text, window titles are displayed in the language that is used as the source for the window text. To translate the window titles, use the procedure that is given in Using Blueworx Voice Response to translate display text or in Using another editor to translate display text .

The help text editor does not include an automatic line wrap feature. When you are translating text and the line is going to extend beyond the edge of the window, press <Enter> to start a new line. <Enter> does not create a "hard" carriage return (start a new paragraph). When Blueworx Voice Response formats the help text, it starts new lines that are related to the window size, not to where you pressed <Enter>. It starts new paragraphs when it finds a :p. tag (described in Table 1). Note that, if you print help text from the help text editor, the print program does not include an automatic line wrap feature; therefore, it truncates each line of the printed copy after 80 columns.
