Content flattening/Filter by target

Post by IUseItAsACrash »

Hey folks

I have (another) beginner question, this time related to content flattening.

In my Flare project I have a number of variables for which I created overrides in the individual targets. For example, I have the document title included as a variable, which enables me to use the same title page for all PDFs. Which settings do I apply with regards to content flattening if I want to ensure that I can create translations for each individual variable definition of the title and type variable? Currently I have around 20 different targets, and there will be more.

Thanks in advance!

Hi Crash,

You can add a variable set in the translation bundle in Lingo.
Values of variables are translated in almost the same way as content inside topics.

Thank you. I think I got it completely wrong. My problem was that I didn't know how to translate the overrides for variables. But of course they need to be translated inside each target file.

Thanks anyway.
