Framemaker and Translation

[Stephen O'Brien]

Hi Steve,

I've been reading this thread with interest as our documentation (FM) 
is going to be translated into German and Japonese starting in 
January 2007. The people at the other end are distributors who are 
going to have to put together an efficient workflow. You mention in 
your comment being able to provide details...I am very interested...

Thanks.
