Translation notes
- in All Sites use excel sheet tools and copy & paste as many lines can be duplicate
- the Entry Pages (please check all words in excel-block as excel could break off lines !) are the most important pages and probably also the most complex, note that in the translation for list selections the exact words should be used as in the other sheets / translations and that category listings words are placed in alphabetical order (just look at the site we did do)
- there are some internet codes in the phrases (especial in the All Sites and Entry Pages excel sheet), these have to be exact incorporated (some code examples are <br><br> <a href='javascript:history.go(-1)'> OR <br> OR <b style='font-family:Tahoma,Verdana, Arial; font-size:12px'>) for your help most of them are made blue so that can be ‘copy & paste’ is made fast
- duplicate capital words or a words that start with a capital also in capital in your language (if you have the capital script)
- names of Connectdirector websites and company / brand names should be in the original (English) language
