Definition

The Online Text Repository (OTR) is a repository for all HTML texts, which are accessed using an alias. OTR texts can be translated into other languages using translation tools. At runtime, the OTR directive is replaced by the text defined for the logon language.

Use

There are two ways of using the OTR:

  1. You can first write the text in the OTR and give it an alias that should be as meaningful as possible.

    Then you can display the text with the following syntax:

    <%=otr(alias)%>

  2. You can however also specify the text in the page layout:

    <otr> beliebiger HTML-Text, kann auch Scripting Code enthalten </otr>

    This is an "auto-OTR text" that is automatically transferred to the OTR and translated there. If the user logs on in a different language, they see the translated text.

    Caution

    The text is only automatically transferred if it was entered in the original language.
