A potential doctor client has posed this question, and I don't know
if his request is doable and if it is, how to proceed. Any ideas
would be greatly appreciated...
He wants to create a generic letter in English with a number of merge
fields to send to different individuals. So far, no problem.
He then wants to translate the letter into different languages for
patients who do not read English. Is there any feature in Writer to
accomplish this ( I haven't found anything, but perhaps I've missed
it)? Would a 3rd party translation app work? Or would he just need to
have the English document translated and create a new document using
appropriate characters / font?
Hope the question is clear, because _I_ am confused1
Thanks for any help
There is an extension at
http://extensions.services.openoffice.org/project/ootranslator that
should work. It is base on the Google Translate system. It as a tool
bar item to translate from one language to another. Not sure how good
it is as I have not had a chance to try it personally.
Hope this helps.
Thanks Andy
What a nifty extension. It installs easily and seems to work well Can't
comment on the quality of the translation, but the translated document
retains formatting and images.
