User Manual

WELCOME TO ORTSBO, WHERE EVERYONE IS LOCAL!


Ortsbo Introduction

Welcome to the Ortsbo multi-lingual, multi-network experience. Ortsbo offers a unique experience by combining all of your instant

message tools into a single platform. Log into multiple chat services at the same time and manage your chats from a single location.

Beyond the ability for multi-network logins, Ortsbo also offers a 100% seamless translation service. Ortsbo will ensure all your

messages are translated to your preferred language, and your contacts messages are sent in their personal language. Only one of the

two parties involved in an instant message conversation need to be using Ortsbo for translation to occur!! That’s right, even if your

contacts are still running MSN Live, Google Talk, Facebook chat or Tencent’s QQ - they will still receive translated text!!


Chat Networks & Required Information

Ortsbo is a powerful multi-network instant message chat client. The beta version offers connections to MSN Live Messenger,

Google Talk, Facebook chat and Tencent’s QQ networks. Additional connectivity to customizable XMPP networks is planned for release.

In order to connect to the available networks you will require account information for each network. Once you have provided Ortsbo

with the login information you may choose to have this information remembered for future usage. Your login information is stored

securely on your own PC within the Silverlight storage area available to the Ortsbo application. Each network has its own requirements

which we will cover here.

MSN Live Messenger

In order to connect to the MSN Live Messenger you will need to create a personal Live passport account. If you do not have a Live!

Passport account, you can download the MSN Live! Messenger chat client and follow the steps to creating your account. You will have

the option of using an existing eMail account as your passport account (i.e. [email protected]) or you can have a hotmail account

created for you (free of charge) which will act as your passport account. It is important that you record the username and password

selected as this information is required to connect to the MSN network. You may find the information you require at the following

website http://explore.live.com/

Google Talk

In order to connect to Google Talk XMPP network you will require a google talk account and password. If you do not have a google

talk or gmail account you can sign up at the following website http://www.google.com/talk/about.html . Again, you will be given a

username/email address (i.e. [email protected]) and you will select a private password for the chat network. Please retain this

information as you will require it when connecting to the Google Talk network from the Ortsbo client.

Facebook

Facebook is a social networking platform that offers instant messaging with your “friends” as a built in service. In the event that

you would like to chat with your friends without logging into the Facebook client, or if you simply want to keep all your chat contacts in a

single location; Ortsbo makes this all possible! If you do not have a Facebook account, simply signup at www.facebook.com free of

charge. Sometimes Facebook users will be required to perform a few extra steps in order to make their facebook instant messaging

account available for connection by Ortsbo. Please see the instructions provided on Page 4.


Facebook Instructions

It is important that you complete the following extra steps within your Facebook account to enable Ortsbo to connect to your

Facebook chat network.

Step 1. Login to your Facebook account per usual.

Step 2. Select the “Account->Account Settings” menu option

You will likely find your username blank, if so, please click the change link and select a username. Once you have a username, please

make a note as it is required for connecting to the Facebook chat network. Simply use this username and your normal password to gain

access to your facebook chat via Ortsbo!! Please note, it can take facebook up to 72 hours to register your new username with their

jabber servers (chat servers). This means you will have to try periodically to login through Ortsbo until they complete this step to gain

access! Instant messaging is new to facebook, we are confident they will be able to make the registration seamless soon!

Network Control Bar

The sign out option will log you off the chat service that the control bar is associated with. Clicking on the icon above will

log you back into the network. The next few items are a legend to describe what the color indicators beside each contact

name, in addition you may select these status options to set your status on the network. These color based statuses are

harmonized across all chat networks. As you select your status, each networks control bar will show you your current status

(i.e. The above control bar indicates you are available (green) for chat).

Green represents the user is available for chat.

Orange/Yellow indicates the user is ‘away’ or unavailable for chat.

Blue indicates that you have blocked this user and they are unable to see you online.

Blocking / Unblocking Contacts

In the event that you want to block a contact from detecting your presence online, you have the option of blocking

individual users. By highlighting a contact you will see a lock icon appear.

By clicking the lock, the contact color will turn ‘blue’ and the user will become ‘Blocked’

By Clicking the green dot, the contact color will turn ‘Green’ and user will be unblocked.

Translation Options

When you logged into the network you set your preferred language. In addition you may select a default language for each of

your contacts. If your contact is using Ortsbo, they will have their own preferred language and this step is not required. However it is

a good practice to set this language as users that are using a native client (MSN Live, Google Chat, Facebook or QQ) will not have

translation options available. By setting the translation language for your contacts, even if they are not using Ortsbo, they will still see

all of your messages in the language you select for them. Yes, this means that translation is available for both you and your contact

even if you are the only one using Ortsbo!! This is a powerful feature within Ortsbo, providing translation services for both ends of

the conversation when your contact is not yet an Ortsbo convert!! Be sure to tell them about Ortsbo so they can enjoy real-time

language translation with all of their contacts - not just you!! It’s free of charge and fun to use!
