Translating text boxes
For each text box that you create, you can provide a translation of the text it contains in a number of languages. This feature is useful if you want to present your Asta Powerproject or Asta Easyplan output in a number of countries as you can localise the text in your borders for each country. Once you have translated the text boxes within a border, you can specify the language in which to print the border's text boxes using the Language field on the Details tab of the Print dialog within Asta Powerproject or Asta Easyplan.
To provide a translation of a text box:
- Select the text box you want to translate.
- Select the Details
command from the Edit menu,
or click
. You see the
Details dialog, which displays
the text of the text box in the large scrollable field. - Select the language in which you want to enter a translation in the Text field. The large scrollable field is cleared.
- Enter the translation of the text into the large scrollable field. Do not translate any fields.
- Repeat steps 3 and 4 to enter translations in more languages if required.
- Click OK to confirm your changes and close the Details dialog.
Once you have provided translations for the text boxes in your border, you can specify the language in which you want to display the border.
