YOU SHOULD NOTE THIS
Translating the OTOBO documentation
Die OTOBO-Dokumentation wird als reStructuredText bereitgestellt. Beim Übersetzen ist deshalb besondere Sorgfalt geboten, um die Integrität der Dokumentenstruktur zu gewährleisten.
Die wichtigsten Strukturelemente findet Ihr hier, inklusive einer kurzen Beschreibung, wie sie zu behandeln sind:
*Highlights*
Highlighted passages are marked with asterisks. This formatting is commonly used for GUI elements such as screen names, titles, buttons, and labels.
Translate? Yes
Please make sure to observe how the highlighted elements are translated in the current user interface and use the same terms.
Example
EN Use the *Ticket Zoom* screen to see the ticket details. DE Verwenden Sie die Ansicht *TicketZoom*, um die Ticketdetails anzuzeigen.
**Bold Text**
Bold text is marked with double asterisks. This type of formatting is typically used for important information.
Translate? Yes
Example
EN **Don't continue** the update if you get an error message. DE **Unterbrechen** Sie das Update, wenn eine Fehlermeldung angezeigt wird.
` `Fixed Text` `
Fixed terms are enclosed in double backticks. This formatting is typically used for naming variables and configuration elements as well as path references.
Translate? No
These terms should not be translated. Translating them would disrupt the document structure.
Example
EN Activate ``group`` in system configuration ``ExamplePermission###100``. DE Aktivieren Sie ``group`` in der Systemkonfiguration ``ExamplePermission###100``.
:ref: `Internal Links`
Internal linking to other pages or headings within pages. :doc:page-name refers to a page, and :ref:Heading Title to a heading within a page. The custom tag :sysconfig:System Configuration Name is used to reference a system configuration.
Translate? No
Text replacing page-name, Heading Title, and System Configuration Name must not be translated. Translating them would disrupt the document structure.
Example
EN See page :doc:`queues` to add a queue, especially section :ref:`Queue Settings`. DE Siehe :doc:`queues`, insbesondere den Abschnitt :ref:`Queue Settings` für weitere Informationen zum Hinzufügen einer Queue.
External Links
External links consist of the displayed text (link text) and the URL of the page being referenced. They have the following structure: Linktext __ (in real life, without spaces between brackets and URL).
Translate? Yes & No
Translate the link text and keep the URL, or adjust it to point to the respective language version.
Example
EN See `OTOBO website < https://otobo.io/en/ >`__ for more information. DE Weitere Informationen auf der `OTOBO Website < https://otobo.io/de/ >`__.
