[comp.sys.mac.comm] CTB Tool Help/Localization

chor@wolf.cs.washington.edu (Anthony Chor) (12/04/90)

Has the CTB been localized yet?  If so, which languages; if not, will it be
and when?

Also, does anyone know if Apple is planning to add Balloon Help to the CTB 
Tool dialogs?  Balloon Help for these complicated dialogs would greatly
improve the usability of CTB tools, especially for entry-level users.

Thanks.

	As far as I know, there have been no active localization efforts
inside of Apple on the CTB - most likely since it is changing (somewhat)
with System 7.0 and localization will happen at that time.

	Well, since all versions of 7.0x to date have not come with any CTB
tools, it would hard for them to include Balloon Help (which is also only
part of 7.0).  
	On a related note, would someone from Apple like to comment on which,
if any, of the CTB tools will ship with 7.0??
