EBSCOadmin Multilingual Options

• Tutorial

Welcome to EBSCOs Multilingual Options tutorial,
where you will learn how to enable the
multilingual interface screen selection option in
EBSCOhost, as well as the translation of HTML
full text articles into other languages, and
create a Profile in one of several languages.
These key translation features allow you to
display interface text in over 25 languages,
providing important localization support for
non-English-speaking users.

From the Customize Services tab in EBSCOadmin,
click on the Multilingual Options sub-tab. To
allow users to change the interface screen
language during an EBSCOhost session, select the
Yes radio button next to this first setting. To
enable the EBSCOhost HTML full text article
translation feature, select the On radio button
next to the setting. Click Submit to save your
changes.

When the interface screen language option has
been enabled, users will see a drop-down list on
the Preferences screen from which they may choose
a language for their session interface screens.
The interface language will return to the default
setting upon logging out of EBSCOhost. Users can
save their interface language preference in their
personal My EBSCOhost folder for future sessions.
Note that all full text articles are presented in
their originally-published language, regardless
of the interface screen language selected.

The HTML full text article translation feature
allows users to translate an HTML full text
article into any of the languages presented in
the drop-down list at the top of an open HTML
article. Users simply open the drop-down list,
highlight the desired language, and then click
the Translate button to view the article in the
selected language.

Library administrators can also create a Profile
in an alternate language by following these steps
in EBSCOadmin Click on the Profile Maintenance
link, then the Add a New Profile link. Fill in
the required fields and choose the desired
language from the Language drop-down list.

EBSCOhost users who access the (new) profile will
see all search screens in the chosen language,
and if enabled, will be able to change the search
screen language to any language included in the
drop-down list on the sub-toolbar.
