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!

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.

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.

Important things to note: ONE ToolBook with all languages - a huge file management benefit. Ease of use for your translators.
If somewhere down the line you find that you need a new language - no problem. You are all set up to very easily add the new language assuming that you can find someone to do the translation. If you have media that also needs to be translated, Platte Canyon has a similar product for media. (They sell a bundled connection package for under $2000.)

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.

Very cool program. Best of all it was easy to install and use. In less than 1 hour I installed the program and had one of our modules running with multiple databases. In that hour, I also had time to play around with the Translator. Nice job.

Excellent tool. It's all worked perfectly to date.
