Using Adobe Captivate you can convert your project into another language for a specific country by exporting the project as XML. Now this process is known as Localization and it enables you to edit all of the project text for a particular cultural context. So to do this I'm going to start by going to the File Menu here and I'm going to choose Export and then To XML like so, OK? And I'm just going to accept the default Filename, which just happens to be Publish Flash, that's fine, so I'll click Save. It's now asking me do I want to view the XML. Well, I'll just show you what the XML looks like; this will probably open in Adobe Dreamweaver, which it is doing and here's what the XML document looks like. Well, in fact, this is a special kind of XML file format and it enables translators to concentrate on the text that's going to be translated. Now here's what the structure looks like, but of course you can't really see the text very clearly because it's got all this XML-based data wrapped around it. What I'm going to do now is just switch to another program which is a free XLIFF Editor, which is the special format that's used for translating XML files, so I'll just choose File, Open and now I'll go to Desktop, in fact I'll have to go to Home here, Documents - a very old program, this one. It reminds me of my good old days working with DOS - let's go down to the bottom here and it's saying that it can't find the file but if I choose All Files and scroll down I should have an XML file, which I do, so I'll click Open. It's telling me now that I have the option here to set the Target Language. Well, in this case let's say that I choose Spanish, which is that one and click OK. OK, so what we now get is a much cleaner view of all the text strings included in this project and now what I could do if I wanted to is I could start adding the Spanish text for each of these particular blocks. Now obviously once either yourself or the translator has finished working on this particular document, you can then just close your XLIFF Editor and I'll just switch back to Captivate here, choose File, choose Import and you can see as well that I can, of course, Import the Modified XML file back into my Captivate environment. OK, so that's the first way that you can work with XML. Now let's say, for example, that you want to send the XML via E-mail, well you can do that directly in Adobe Captivate and to accomplish that, just go to the File Menu, choose Publish, select E-mail here and then from the File Type list you can just choose XML file, like so. If I were to click publish then obviously that would open up my mail client with the attached XML file ready for me to send to the Translation Service Provider that I want to use for this project.
