How do you translate the Screen Tips defined in a hyperlink's properties?

Hello,

Screen tips are included in the Lingo list of segments and will be included in the bundle. Or, are you not using Lingo?

In case it is helpful, I use variables for popup text. In this way I can easily get the text translated outside Lingo (as well as run it through a spell checker). The "Tip" text is also a variable.

<MadCap:popup>
<MadCap:popupHead><MadCap:variable name="Doc.Tip" />
</MadCap:popupHead>
<MadCap:popupBody><MadCap:variable name="Tips.Tip_001" />
</MadCap:popupBody>
</MadCap:popup>

I am not sure if a similar approach can be used for screen tips.
