Hi Sidonia,
The current version of Little Reader does not have a function for translating the default English Curriculum to German or any other language -- we are working on a function like this for the next version, though, so do watch out for it! Alongside this, we are also working on localizing the Little Reader curriculum into various languages (we have just released the Simplified and Traditional Curriculum, and we are currently doing the French version).
For now, as what others have been doing, you can start by creating a duplicate of the English Categories and edit your copy so that it contains words in the language you want. You can then create a Playlist out of your new Categories, which you can play as your German version of the curriculum.
You will need to use the Import function to do this (provided that you have previously exported the specific category/ies that you want to duplicate).
To make a duplicate of your category:
- Import the category you want to make a copy of (either by double-clicking on your .cat file or by clicking on the "Import" button and locating your .cat file)
- In the "Importing..." window that pops up, click on the "Show Advanced Options" link -- some conflict resolution options will then appear right below this link
- For the "Course/Playlist/Category name conflict" and "Word file name conflict" items, choose "Rename"
- For the "Media file name conflict" item, choose your preferred option, or leave it as is
- Click on the YES button to start importing your category
NOTE:
Notice that the "Automatically resolve naming conflicts" Import option is turned on (or checked) by default -- this way, when you choose to "Rename" conflicting category and word file names, Little Reader will automatically rename each file as "BK - Food 2(1)," "bk-food-fish(1)," "bk-food-pasta(1)," and so on. You can then change these file names later on (via the Playback screen).
Otherwise if you want to rename the files while importing them back to LR, just un-check the "Automatically resolve naming conflicts" option. You will then be prompted to type in the new file name for each conflicting category and word file name that comes up.
I hope this helps!
Cheers,
Kezia
