articles and each team's articles would be provided in each
language by the support team, but as you know this is a fluid
process in the beta, and we're talking all recommendations from
actual users so we get it right.</p>
<p>KB articles would be displayed (if available) in the user's
selected locale, but if there is no article, like everything else,
it should default to English.</p>
<p>We also aren't planning on having a side-by-side viewer, but
I'll discuss it with the dev team. Once we get past a couple
upcoming milestones (timeline several weeks at least), we'll have
the team's attention on i18n and that's when we'll be making a lot
of new tickets and dispositioning them. In the meantime I'm leaving
these open so we can get your suggestions into our scope
process.</p></div>Timtag:help.tenderapp.com,2008-11-12:Comment/72891742011-05-18T19:15:18Z2011-05-18T19:15:18ZLocalized Knowledge Base articles<div><p>My personal thinking at the moment is that way I'd like to see
it work is that we are able to publish our knowledge base articles
in English, but would have a <em>Google translate</em> type of
capability built-in that would allow the end user to change the
view in any given supported language.</p>
<p>For us, auto translation may be imperfect in some cases since we
often use scientific lingo and technical terms so we would ideally
want the option to <em>not</em> use an auto-translate capability
for any given article that we decide must be correctly and fully
translated manually. Then when you choose a language button to
translate, it would provide you with the manually converted
document instead.</p>
<p>Just another 2 cents worth... thanks for listening!</p></div>petertag:help.tenderapp.com,2008-11-12:Comment/72891742011-05-18T21:47:31Z2011-05-18T21:47:31ZLocalized Knowledge Base articles<div><p>Too complex.</p>
<p>You can provide the text of any article in any language
yourself. So<br>
you can use google translate if you wish, and store the result of
that<br>
text for that given language. Or you could pay someone to<br>
professionally translate the article.</p></div>Courtenay
