Workflow for authoring multilanguage text with the Strings panel
The Strings panel lets you create and update multilingual content. You can specify content for text fields that span multiple languages, and have Flash automatically determine the content that should appear in a certain language based on the language of the computer running Flash Player.
The following steps describe the general work flow:
Author a FLA file in one language.
Any text to enter in another language must be in a dynamic or input text field.
In the Strings Panel Settings dialog box, select the languages to include and designate one of them as the default language.
A column for the language is added to the Strings panel. When you save, test, or publish the application, a folder with an XML file is created for each language.
In the Strings panel, encode each text string with an ID.
Publish the application.
A folder is created for each language you select, and within each language folder is an XML file for that language.
Send the published FLA file and XML folders and files to your translators.
Author in your native language and let the translators make the translation. They can use translation software directly in the XML files or in the FLA file.
