Hm, it doesn't work with two unconverted project files. I tried the above mentionend file and another one and put them in an extra folder. Then I replaced the original folder with my small one, but when I click on an item in the help flap, nothing happens. In the english version, I get a menu with two options to choose from and that menu did not appear with my small german folder. I attach the two translated projects with this mail, perhaps there is something else I did wrong?
I suspect this is because your projects are not in the index. The Index book (the first book in the Help flap) is generated when the image is built and not when it is loaded :-(.
No that's not it. I worked with Rita and found that the code gathering guides only looks for the sexp.data.gz files, but the code actually loading the guide works with both .pr and sexp.data.gz files. So if you put an empty sexp.data.gz next to the .pr it works fine.
We also found you can rename the guides to a local language, as long as the file name still starts with the original stem (NavBar, Paint, etc):
-rw-r--r--@ 1 root admin 52454 Mar 20 12:08 NavBarSpeichern-und- Laden.pr -rw-r--r-- 1 root admin 0 Mar 20 12:48 NavBarSpeichern-und- Laden.sexp.data.gz
The title must not get too long because the layout is not adaptive to that.
One thing that was not obvious was how to edit the additional pages of a guide. Turns out each guide is a book but with its controls off, they can be made visible in the book's halo menu to access the other pages.
Hopefully Rita is going to write this up as a guide (hehe) to other translators.
