Translating Indexes (IDML)

Across supports the translation of indexes in IDML documents. For this purpose, the subjects of the index entries are extracted from the IDML documents to be translated and can subsequently be translated in crossDesk.

All subjects of an index are displayed as a group in crossView under Index and can thus be translated together. In the actual text of the IDML document, the index marks are displayed in the form of placeables that merely need to be transferred to the Target Editor.

After checking out a translated IDML document, the index must be created anew with the help of InDesign in order to update the index entries.

Translation of Cross-Reference

It is possible to translate cross-references in Across.

All cross-references are displayed consecutively in crossView and can thus be translated together. In the Context View, the cross-references are displayed in the form of placeables and merely need to be transferred to the Target Editor. Translate the text accompanying the cross-references in the usual manner.

By default, the translation of cross-references is activated in the document settings templates. If necessary, deactivate the corresponding checkbox.
