Translate the Hyperlinks

After translating all text of the GeoGebra Introductory Book, you should go through all hyperlinks to check if they are in your language:

1. In order to translate an hyperlink, click into the middle of the word of the hyperlink and start typing your translation. This keeps the hyperlink and lets you insert your translated hyperlink text. Then delete the English letters at the beginning and the end of your translated hyperlink text.
2. Repeat step 1 for every hyperlink that is not in your language yet.
3. Many of the hyperlinks in this document link to the corresponding GeoGebra files or to pictures. If you plan to translate their file names as well, please change the hyperlinks accordingly.
