Helping in other languages
-
Hi folks.
Lets pretend that you want to help someone who uses SketchUp (SU) in an other language.
You would like to point some help article to this person but you can only find it in your own language, for example English.
Lets pretend that this is a French speaking person that wants to know how the Circle Tool works.
From SU's Help Center, you can find a list of articles using the words circle tool in the search field.
Normally, this search brings you here:
On this page a list of articles can be found with hyperlinks.
The fourth one reads: SketchUp Circle Tool: Drawing a circle
If I click on it I get here:
http://support.google.com/sketchup/bin/answer.py?hl=en&answer=94741
Notice the language code hl=en. You will have to click this to see it since the SketchUcation forum truncate the URL.
en stands for English.
If I substitute fr to replace en, I get:
http://support.google.com/sketchup/bin/answer.py?hl=fr&answer=94741
Its the same text but in French.
The language codes that I was able to find are these:
EN = English-US
FR = French (Français)
ES = Spanish(Español)
IT = Italian (Italiano)
DE = German(Deutsch)
NL = Dutch(Nederlands)
Pt-BR = Portuguese - Brasil (Português-Brasil)
RU = RussianMy example with the circle tool seems to works and I checked for English, French, Spanish, Italian, Portuguese and German.
I am not sure that Dutch and Russian work correctly since, with these languages I get what looks like a warning text followed by help in English.
Also, since I don't have a keyboard configured for languages not using Roman characters, I was not able to check all.
Just ideas.

... or use the "Change language" dropdown list at the bottom of the help article
