Join Adobe Partners and Experts for an interactive eSeminar to learn how the experts at Globalization Partners International eliminated unnecessary DTP steps and solved several critical challenges in English, and 27 target languages for a major medical device manufacturer with 200+ page manuals with Adobe FrameMaker 9.
Many people pay more than they should for post-translation DTP because their content is inconsistently formatted in less effective applications or older versions of FrameMaker. Inconsistent document structure and formatting exceptions can cause costly problems, even in English source files.
New custom FrameMaker 9 workflow saves files in native XML format, erases “illegal” format overrides on save and ensures all external cross-references open error-free after translation. One template controls all formatting, including font changes and language specific prefixes like “Table” and “Figure”, for 27 target languages.
Attend this webinar to:
- Learn how to control formatting for 27 languages from one template, using advanced format rules in the EDD and template.
- Learn how to ensure that structured DITA files from FrameMaker 9 achieve maximum leveraging from old “unstructured” Translation Memory created from older projects.
