empower^® Add-in: Slides for macOS

You can mark elements in the library as translations to show that the element is a language version of another element.

Note

Depending on the setup of your empower^® Environment, the translation features might not be available.

Note

For further information regarding the assignment of languages, see Assign Languages.

Create Translation Groups

If you have added a translation for an element, you can mark the element as a translation.

After saving the element to the empower^® Library and assigning the language, click on the button Languages in the navigation bar. A drop-down menu opens.

In the drop-down menu, choose the option Mark as translation (Figure 1, “Option Mark as translation”).

Repeat this process for all elements that you want to add to a translation group.

If an element has been marked as a translation, a gray translation symbol is displayed in the element's thumbnail (Figure 2, “Thumbnail with Gray Translation Symbol”).

Important

Marking the element as a translation does not affect the translation feature. If you close the library without creating a translation group, your changes will be lost.

To use translations for the translation feature, create translation groups.

Note

Each language can only be contained once in the same translation group.

Note

Translation groups can only contain elements of the same type.

If you have marked multiple element types as translations, a dialog box opens (Figure 3, “Invalid Selection of Elements”).

Figure 3. Invalid Selection of Elements

After marking the element as a translation, you can create a translation group containing all elements that you have marked as translations.
Translation groups are required for the translation feature for slides and presentations. If a translation group has been created and an included element is translated, empower^® uses the translations available in the translation group.
To create a translation group, follow the following steps:
After marking elements as translations, select one of the elements. Navigate to the navigation bar. Click on the button Languages. A drop-down menu opens.
Click on the option Create translation group (Figure 4, “Option Create translation group”).	Figure 4. Option Create translation group
If an element has been added to a translation group, a black translation symbol is displayed in the element's thumbnail (Figure 5, “Thumbnail with Black Translation Symbol”).	Figure 5. Thumbnail with Black Translation Symbol
To remove an element from a translation group, click on the button Languages again and choose the option Remove from translation group (Figure 6, “Option Remove from translation group”).	Figure 6. Option Remove from translation group

Note

Alternatively, you can access the option Language via the context element of an element.

Outdated Translations

If a translation is outdated, a red dot appears next to the other elements' translation symbol in the empower^® Library (Figure 7, “Thumbnail for Outdated Translation”).

In some cases, it might be necessary to mark translations manually.

To manually mark one of the translations in the translation group as outdated, click on the button Languages again and choose the option Translation outdated (Figure 8, “Option Translation outdated”).

To manually mark one of the translations as up to date again, click on the button Languages again and choose the option Translation up to date (Figure 9, “Option Translation up to date”).
