Extraire extract text from illustrator for translation, and then replace with translated text
I am trying to find a way to speed up the translation of our designs. Each drawing has a series of legends indicating what's this piece of the drawing by the text. I would need to do hundreds of drawings for each book.
Issues related to the:
1. can I write something to a batch file and extract the file name and the text of each textbox so that when I get back translation, I can automate the reintegration of the text translated to its appropriate field (i.e. TextField1 = 'Translate' and then fill in the exact field even with 'Translation')? For that, I think that each text field should be marked with a unique identifier so that it know what translation goes where in the drawing. Don't forget, I'm ok with marking manually each textbox if necessary.
2. assuming that the above is possible, what would be the best program to write the extracted text so that reading and writing the text translated again in the drawing is as easy as possible (Word, Excel, PDF)?
Scripting is not necessary, but it could be used, let's say has a decorative 100 pices of text all in English, you select one at a time and make dynamic (variable1, variable2... do variable100). Once you have all your variables, you capture a data set, this set of data (an xml file, like BilingualText.xml), then likely the xml to include your translated text and import export Illustrator. Now, you will be abel to switch between English and the translation.
or if you don't need to switch between languages, simply export the file something like English.xml, then have it translated and saved as Spanish.xml for example and load the file each time its needed.

Using tracing image, and then replacing with background image
I am very new to Dreamweaver and am trying to put together a very simple site.
I use image tracing for the mode of disposal table - and it am followed exactly. However, when I put it off to test it in my browser,
nothing aligns how it shows in my work environment.
Am I missing something obvious 'very '? Thank you.
(1) never use the mode table layout. It's a terrible way to build web pages.
(2) no matter how hard you try, you can't make things stick to a large background image. It's like trying to nail Jell-o to a wall.
Have a look at the following tutorials. These will get on the right track.

I just accidentally deleted an email from my junk mail and then emptied. Is it possible to get it back?
I have Hotmail and I was able to retrieve the deleted message. At the bottom of one of the screens Hotmail (it may have been the spam screen), there is a note saying 'click here' (or something like that) to get to the top of your deleted messages recently. Although even I had emptied all deleted/junk messages, MSN could display all or most of the messages because they did not have them banned in the cemetery of e-mail yet. Thank you MSN and thank you Ken Blake and vader 95 for taking the time to answer.

Hello
I am currently using InDesign CC, specially the script part, for updating a price list for my company.
I have a table that contains all of the blocks of text in my document. A page use a block of text. I want to go through all these text block, find a Word and then replace it with the word I want.
Example: The line, in a text frame that contains several line, ' CAR56974 - $14.95 "must be the change of ' CAR56974 - $ 18.66»
I want to find this line in all my text frames, and then replace it with the new line.
I looked in the forums but cannot find an answer for my problem specfic.
Here's how to get all my text blocks:
var allTextFrames = myDoc.textFrames;
for (var i = 0; i < allTextFrames.length; i ++) {}
TF = allTextFrames [i];
}
Thanks in advance!

Hello, a graphic designer created my logo. I need to change the color from black to white and then make it bigger so I can add it to a T-shirt. I looked online and can't find a way to do it. Help, please
Guess that's your logo. His place of 1000px
Select each layer, and then type cmd - I or ctrl-I on the keyboard and that will reverse the color of the objects on the layer. Black is the
opposite of white
And then resizing the image size under Select image menu and place values expanded in the dialog box
as below.
That's all. It may be useful

I left by mistake a USB in the port when I restarted my computer (Windows 7).
Since then, when I start the computer, it goes through a few stages starting and then ends with a black screen with a cursor flashing at the top.
If I press ESC during startup and access the start menu, something marked WED... is highlighted and I press on enter and it starts normally.
How can I get Windows 7 to do a normal boot without having to access the Boot Menu each time?

When I try to download a cd, it burns all the way to 99% and then stops with an error message indicating that it may miss a codec. How could I be missing this and how I get it back or find exactly what it is that I'm missing? Help!
Hi jeanamae,
the error message shows which codec is missing?
Is there a 'additional information' icon or the link?
Try to reduce the speed of the burn and see if you get the same question.
