How to

It has never been easier to offer and translate a Bound in different languages. Find out how to edit the images and audio in the translations here:

Adding new images and audios into the translations

For your translation, you can add media via the dialogue window, as in the element of the primary language.
Click on the respective icons to add a new picture, video or audio in your translation.

Hint

If you want to insert the same media as in the primary language into your translation, you can do this either by clicking on the translate icon or by copying and pasting the image, video or audio code including the square brackets.
The settings (Width, Alignment, Text flow, Zoom) made in the Bound Creator of the primary language are transferred to the translation.

Formatting images, audio and videos

Work with flags to edit the settings (Width, Alignment, Text flow, Zoom) of your media in the translation. These are marks in the form of characters that the system automatically recognises and displays your image, video or audio accordingly.

Width

If you want to edit the Width of your image, the flag :w and a number similar to a percentage will help you. If you want to reduce your image by half, use the flag :w50. For a reduction to 75 percent of the size, use the flag :w75.

Example: From [abi:638f14bbe60c4c12cec4c15] to [abi:638f14bbe60c4c12cec4c15:w50]

Alignment

You can choose from 4 different orientations for your image.
Left-aligned: Add :ad to the image code.
Centred: Add :ac to the image code.
Right-aligned: Add :ar to the image code.
Full Width: Add :af to the image code.

Caution!

If your image is too big and the alignments are hidden, you can reduce your image by Width, then all Alignments will be shown.
Note that you now have to apply two flags:
First the flag for the Width: :w(number) and then the flag for the Alignment :a(b/c/r/f).

Text flow

To display the text next to the image, you can activate the Text flow by using the :f flag.
Note that the text flow can only be activated if the image is reduced in Width and Aligned left or right.
Here is an example of an image code for a 50% smaller, left-aligned image with activated text flow: [abi:638f14bbe60c4c12cec4c15c:50:ab:f]

Zoom

You can deactivate the magnifying glass that appears at the edge of the image during the bound.
To do this, extend the image code by :h .

Formatting audio

To activate the native audio player for the audios in your translation, add the flag to the audio code :p .

Formatting video

Currently, the videos are downscaled to 480p: If you want to show your video in the original, use the flag :s.
