Media Package
Package Contents
A media package can contain the following resources:
- Media Files
-
The target language folder, for example, fr-ca or pl, is the folder your localization provider uses to localize content. When you create a media package, you select locales, or target languages, for your localization job.
Each locale generates a separate folder in the media package. The folders are named by locale code, for example, the folder for Canadian French localization is named fr-ca, and the folder for Polish localization is named pl.
- Manifest XML File
- Each target language folder contains media files that are located in a folder structure that is identical to your Heretto CCMS folder structure. Each target language folder also contains a manifest.xml file that contains a list of media resources and their destination in the package.
The manifest.xml file can be used by the localization provider to effectively navigate the folder structure of the Media Package and ensure all files are localized.
Media Package Localization Process
Media packages contain only media content, like screenshots or diagrams.
- Set the source language for the DITA content that you want to localize.
- Recommended: Publish the reference content.Remember:
While publishing, set the locale option to the source language.
- Create a media package. See Create a Media Package.
- Do any of the following:
- Send the source package to your localization provider.
- Localize the package on your own. See Localize Media Package Content.
- Upload the localized media package to Heretto CCMS. See Upload a Localized Media Package.
- Edit the localized content on your own. See Edit Localized Content in Heretto CCMS or Edit Localized Content Locally.
- Resend the localized content for corrections. See Resend Content for Localization.
Create a Media Package
Before you create a media package, verify that the media file names contain no illegal characters, for example, spaces. If they do, you will not be able to upload the localized package back to Heretto CCMS.
Configure and create a media package
Download the package and send it for localization
Localize Media Package Content
If needed, you can localize content in-house instead of sending it to an external localization provider.
Upload a Localized Media Package
When your localization provider is done localizing your content, they send you an identical media ZIP file with the same content; the only difference is that the media files in the target language folder(s) are now localized. Upload the ZIP file to Heretto CCMS and verify if localization is complete.
