Radio Buttons
May 14, 2008 12:00 AM
Another crazy technique is to put two versions of each text box, image, etc., on each page. Make them all invisible at first.Put all of the English objects into one group called English Components. Put all of the Spanish objects into another group called Spanish Components.You have a variable for language that can be toggled with a button. If Language = Spanish then Modify Language = English and vice versa.When a page loads, you have an action to show the English Components if Language = English. Else, show the Spanish Components.I'm not too familiar with testing for an LMS with Lectora, so I may really be speaking out of my arse here. But, I would imagine that having two different Entry Fields, Check Boxes, etc., would really queer the deal here. If so, I would consider making another group called Test Components. These are the question elements that have no text whatsoever. They are just empty radio buttons and such. You then create the English and Spanish text to go beside the form elements. One advantage of doing it this way is that when a developer wants to see how the page looks in English, he can hide the entire Spanish group. And vice versa. Again, just thinking out loud here. Your problem intrigues me, so I am throwing out suggestions. Some of them might actually not suck.Kevin
