Using Internet Explorer to
Retrieve Pages to Translate
When you retrive a page to translate from the Internet, you must save it on your disk so that web addresses (URLs) and embedded image addresses are not destroyed in the process. Follow this guideline carefully, and everything should work out fine:
  1. Open the desired web page in Internet Explorer.
    Example: http://www.kidlink.org/english/general/overview.html
  2. Click at File, then Save as. A window to help you save the page will open.
  3. Use the Save in: to select a place on your disk to save the file.
    You may find it practical to save Kidlink pages in a directory using the same name as the original on your disk. For example, ystore http://www.kidlink.org/english/general/overview.html at C:\DEUTSCH\GENERAL when translating into German.
  4. In the File name: box, use the same file name as the source document.
     In the example above, this name would be overview.html
  5. Go to the File type:, box and select the setting "Web Page, HTML only (*.htm, *,html)".
    This is very important! If you select "Web page complete (*.htm, *,html)", then Internet Explorer will change the contents of the links on your web page. The effect will be that links to images on your web page will be changed to point to a directory on your harddisk with another name!
    Select 
    "Web Page, HTML only (*.htm, *,html)"!
  6. Go to Encoding:, and change the coding to match your language's character set special requirements, if any. (You may do it later, but it may also be practical to do it now.)
  7. Congratulations! You are ready to edit the page using your favorite web page editor. If you are using FrontPage, just click at the FrontPage icon to go.
