HTML Editor
With the HTML editor the HTML pages or CHM files you are translating are displayed directly just the way they will later appear in the browser.
This can be particularly important when the length of the strings changes as a result of the translation. You can immediately see the effect and respond accordingly.
The strings in the HTML document are synchronized between the preview window and the translation list, like in the dialog editor. To edit a certain string you can either click the element in the preview window or the corresponding entry in the translation list. Please note that the elements you select in the preview window may comprise several sentences, which will be represented as multiple individual entries in the translation list. The currently selected entry in the translation list is also displayed in the translation window and can be edited there. This means you have all the tools available to support the translation process, including fuzzy matching, the concordance search, the spelling checker, etc.
Changing Attributes
The tags in an HTML document may contain attributes, and the values of such attributes may need to be translated. An example is the alt attribute in <img> elements. This attribute will usually contain a short description of the corresponding image, so it should normally be included in the translation. To edit the attributes of a tag, first select the entry in the translation list that contains the tag. The tag will be displayed as a small yellow block in the translation window. By double-clicking on this tag symbol you can call up a settings dialog with a list of the attributes specified in this tag. If you click on the attribute you want to edit, this attribute's current value is displayed in the second field and you can edit it there.
