Adding support for a new language to the help documentation

The text for the web portal help is located in webserver/web_docs/help/VLPortal; it is called VLPortal_Help.html. You can add support for a new language to the help documentation.
  1. Create a new HTML document from VLPortal_Help.html.  For example, if creating a Spanish language document, create VLPortal_Help_es.html
  2. Open the new file in an HTML editor.
  3. Translate all the text appropriately.
    If you want to update the screen images as well, use a screen capture application to capture images and name the images appropriately, for example, VLPortalLayout_es.bmp.
  4. Within your HTML file, update all the image references to point to your newly created image files.
  5. When finished editing your new HTML file, go to the VLPortal Web Page Catalog. Right-click on the VersaLex Web Page Help entry and select Edit….
    1. If a prompt appears, showing the associated web portals and asking if you are sure you wish to edit it, click Yes.
    2. From the Language menu in the upper-right corner, choose the desired language. 
    3. Add the Title content in the appropriate language.
  6. Import you new HTML file.
    Click Import, select the new file as your linked file, and click OK.
    Note: Do not copy HTML files directly into the webserver\VLPortal\html directory. In order for the HTML file to be properly registered in the VersaLex application, it must be imported. This applies to a newly created HTML file or a modified HTML file.  In all cases, the HTML files must be imported rather than directly copied.
