Translate FrameMaker book to Hebrew/Arabic and convert to online help

Hi Winfried,

One of your solutions: 
>> Mess around with the registry to get FrameMaker to
>> handle right to left languages. Seemed to be only a
>> solution for 2 page documents.

Why is this only a solution for 2 page documents? And by "mess around
with the registry" do you mean set up font substitutions for Hebrew and
Arabic?

Thanks for sharing what you found out,
Daniel

Hi,

Thank you all very much for your suggestions.
Solutions were:

o 2 separate translations:
  - Convert to HTML, get it translated and convert to
    HTML Help.
  - Convert to Word, get it translated and create a PDF.
  Thus the online help will still be context sensitive.
  The second translation will cost money but in the era of
  translation memory systems hopefully not to much.

o Convert to XML, get that translated. Then:
  - Convert the XML to HTML via XSLT.
  - Convert the XML to PDF via LaTeX.

o Convert everything to InDesign. However then I don't
  have an online help.

o Mess around with the registry to get FrameMaker to
  handle right to left languages. Seemed to be only a
  solution for 2 page documents.

No-one suggested a converter from Word to HTML Help.

Best regards

Winfried
