Cross-references for Japanese content

Translations

Acme's requirements

Acme's product documentation is published to several languages. The Japanese content has special requirements for the order used in the cross reference text; the published cross-reference text must show the page number before the remaining reference text.

Note: This option must use the Japanese locale.

Solution: Create a variant of the hyperlink template

Create a variant of the hyperlink template and assign the locale as the variant value. Update the cross reference text on the Print tab. During publishing, when you filter for this locale, Author-it automatically uses the settings from the variant template.

In this example, we'll create a variant for the Japanese output and update the cross reference text to "Page number", "Page reference text", "Heading text", "Reference text".
