| One typical error when changing
links is to inadvertedly change the <IMG SRC= links. They are used
to display images in people's web browsers. This is how to check if they
have been altered in your translation:
| Line feeds |
Line feeds often contain this image command:
<IMG SRC="/icons/dotclear.gif" height=1 width=30>. It's only
purpose is to display blank space, in this case 30 pixels long, 1 pixel high.
If your page has "dotclear.gif", then the blank space will not be
displayed. Instead, the browser may show a funny sign to indicate that an
image is missing. Make sure your translation has all:
"/icons/dotclear.gif" references. |
| The colored line |
There are two occurrences of the colored
line on overview.html. Here's a shorter example:
 . The code to display this
line contains this section: <IMG SRC="/icons/line_4.gif" . Make
sure /icons/ is included in the line above, or you might get that
funny sign instead. |
| The logo at top left |
Check that this logo is represented by:
<IMG SRC="/icons/topbar.gif"
WIDTH="42" HEIGHT="30" ALIGN="Middle" BORDER="0"> |
| The logo at the bottom |
The logo is displayed by this code: <A
HREF="/index.html"><IMG SRC="/img/logo-tiny.gif" WIDTH="45"
HEIGHT="46"></A>. Make sure your link points to
/img/logo-tiny.gif, and not elsewhere. |
Hint: If you have these images on your
disk, you will be able to see how they work on the page with your browser. If you're storing the
page at C:\kie\nls\xxx\response\ as recommended, and have already
retrieved the images as explained
at the Internet Explorer page. Then, copy these three images over here
on your local disk:
c:\icons\dotclear.gif
c:\icons\line_4.gif
c:\img\logo-tiny.gif
As of now, when you view your translated
page with Internet Explorer, the lines, the logo, and the paragraphs will
display just fine.
If you don't know how to copy the images
If you're using a fairly new version of Internet
Explorer, have retrieved the web page with images as
explained here, and do not already
have these directories on your disk, here's an easy way to put them in
place:
-
View the page you have saved on your disk with
images using Internet Explorer.
-
Point your mouse at the logo. Click with your
right (or lower) mouse button, and select "Save picture as". Select
the drive in which you have your translation, then right click on the white
window showing all the directories. Select "New folder," and name
it img. Then, save the image in this directory using its correct name
(logo-tiny.gif). Make sure the name uses lower characters only. Case matters
in web pages!
-
Dealing with the two other images are not that
easy because it is so difficult to get to them with your mouse. Rather than
explain why, here's what you can do:
-
If you do nothave an c:\icons directory,
you can easily do this in DOS using this command:
mkdir
c:\icons
-
Click at the Windows Start-button, select
Search, set it to search on the drive where you stored overview.html
with images, and enter line_4.gif by the Name: prompt. If you have
retrieved the image file, it will appear on your hit
list.
-
Point at the image with your mouse, click the
right mouse button, and select Open from the list. This will open
the image in an application that will allow it to save the image at
c:\icons
-
Now, search for dotclear.gif, and save this at
c:\icons as well.

Completing your translation
Your name and email address must be
added to the footer of the
page. Also, remember to update the page's date with today's date.
