ANN: Webinar on Localization, Technical Writing, and Translation

[Maxwell Hoffmann]

Framers,

My company is hosting a free webinar this Thursday about how to do effective technical writing for a global or multi-lingual audience. In otherwords, how to create content that can be economically translated. Although the presentation is not FrameMaker specific, it will be useful for any Framers that are creating or modifying content that will end up in multiple languages.
