Handling several language versions of documentation and graphics

[Martinek, Carla]

Do not worry about changing the structure of your graphics as they are
used/stored on your network.

Instead, use the Archive plug-in to make an archive of your COMPLETED
doc before you send it to the translators.  You can purchase Archive for
$25 at http://home.comcast.net/~bruce.foster/Archive.htm.  I can't
recommend this plug-in enough.

Send the archived copy of your doc to the translators.  They will
translate everything as needed, and then send the files back to you.  

Structure before I send it to the translators:

  EN folder
  --Graphics

After translators:

  EN folder
  --Graphics

  FR folder
  --Graphics

  DE folder
  --Graphics

  ES folder
  --Graphics

Because the archive plug-in pulls a copy of every graphic used in the
doc, makes a copy and then redirects the links in the new files, you
don't have to worry about where the docs were originally on your network
server.  The newly archived FM files will point to the subfolder
"Graphics" that Archive creates, and each language version of the doc
will mirror the same structure.

Hope that helps,
-Carla
