localizing search error "Ensure that the search string..."

Post by rhansen »

When we use the HTML 5 output and compile in another language (German for example) and then enter an invalid search string we get the following error message in English on a German OS: "Ensure that the search string is properly formatted"

I can see where these strings are in the .js files in the output. (madcapall.js, csh.js, default.js)

Is there a way to localize this error string so that a localized version of the message gets written to the out putted .js files?

Thanks - Richard

I've never tested this in my translated projects, but I'm guessing it's the Language setting of the Project Properties.

Having had a look in the skin editor, there doesn't appear to be the option to change this text. I'd suggest contacting MadCap Support. It appears to be something that has been overlooked.
