Store hotword and glossary definitions in a database for easy retrieval from
ToolBook.
Goodbye Glossary Books
No longer do you need to store your definitions in a special
glossary ToolBook file. Hotword Connection manages your definitions, displays
your popup definitions, and implements your glossary.
Special Tools
Hotword Connection has special author-level tools for creating the database
based on your ToolBook file. ToolBook Translation System and Hotword Connection
then have special “Translator” applications for creating and editing your other
source databases field by field, caption by caption, and definition by
definition. You can even send the Translator applications onto your translation
team!

Wow…worked great! All I have to do now is just to expand the fields in some of the text panes and select the field and click on “selection bounds & fonts” under “Write properties” to update the database. This is really great Jeff!!!!! Huge time saver for us!

I tested the following languages: Japanese, Korean, Chinese (PRC) and Thai. All worked perfectly! Everything imported back into ToolBook just fine! Since we had not been able to use ToolBook for double-byte language content, we have built up a library of other tools that we use depending on the type of courses we are building. Now we should be able to eliminate one or more of these other applications which will make up the cost savings to purchase the TTS.

Prior to having Content Connection, we would have a separate set of books for each language and we would spend hours copying and
pasting (which leaves lots of room for error - especially when we don't speak or read the translated language).
-
We have done a lot of work with Content Connection. It has enabled us to very quickly and easily create foreign language versions of our programs. While there are some limitations and challenges that we have in many cases found a way to work around, we would not be able to afford the manpower and liability due to errors that would be required to do the translations the way that we would have to do them without the translator. Content Connection is a fantastic tool if you need to do translations.

I attended a Content Connection session at the recent TBCON. Slick tool and definitely worthy of your consideration. If/when our company does multilingual training, we'll be giving Platte Canyon a call.

We offer our programs in multiple languages in both a native and web-based format. To do this, we use Platte Canyon's Content Connection which stores the text in a database for native TB use. Then, when we are ready to publish the foreign language version to DHTML, we select the language that we wish to publish to. The fields are populated with the correct language and we do the export.
