Hi Janine,

I’m a Chinese teacher in France. Actually, I’m doing a project on how to make Chinese Learning easier, a quick method that I created to help foreigners learn to speak real mandarin.

Thanks to your Total Training DW course, I could start building my Web site step by step. I’m not flattering, but I must say you’re a very good teacher, with much patience that could be heard in your voice. Your language speed is quite suitable for us non-English speaking students.

As you said in DW CS4 Essential Training: “You don’t have to do backbends to set links.” So today, I’m trying to link with my teacher to get some help with the questions that I’ve googled for a long time without any ideal result.

My first question is how to make my Web site both in French and English?

The second one is how to make a Virtual Scene, like an office environment that appears in your Total Training DW CS3? Because I’m going to prepare an online course and I want to make it a bit stylish. But I just don’t know where to start and what software I should use.

If it won’t take too much of your time, could you please just let me know the working process and the software involved for getting it done?

I would be most grateful if you could send me your advice. I’ll be very happy to make your acquaintance.

Kind regards,
Mengnan

Hi Mengnan,

Thank you for your kind words about my videos. To create a site in more than one language, you essentially need to create a second version of the site and translate the text. Just treat the second version as a section of the first version and set the links to the pages in the second language as you would link to anything else. If you visit my www.jcwarner.com or www.artesianmedia.com sites, you’ll see that I’ve done this with my sites in English and Spanish.

As for creating the ‘virtual office’ scene, the professional video editors at Total Training did it in a program called After Effects, which is used for video editing. I create all of the Web sites and training in my videos, but they do the video editing, so I can’t help you with that part.

I wish you all the best,
Janine
