The OLAT-Core framework features a context sensitive help system. Wherever you as a developer decide that a user might need some information, you can place a context help icon that explains to the user what he can do. This is mainly used to give advice in forms or in some workflows that might need help.

A context help page is identified by the Java package name that the help page belongs and the page name: org.olat.group.ui.edit:grp-BuddyGroup-des.html

When context help page is displayed, the user has the possibility to change the language in case the help has not yet been translated to his language. There is a navigation element to go to a table of content that lists all available context help pages.

Note: Since OLAT 6.1 the context sensitive help is generated dynamically by the framework. There is no need to do any precompilation process anymore. Also, when keys in the users language are missing, the normal fallback mechanism is used and the context help from the default or fallback language is used instead. We also greatly reduced the copy-past translations that consited only of key references.
