Templates for international use

[Pinkham, Jim]

Roy, there's a handy section on localizing templastes in Gregory Wasson
and David Valiulis "Adobe FrameMaker Template Series Primer," and the
overall document is an excellent, thorough resource for template work.
The primer is at
http://www.adobe.com/products/framemaker/tempseries/pdfs/primer.pdf and
there are some other handy links on the
http://www.adobe.com/products/framemaker/tempseries/ page.

HTH,
Jim

Subject: Templates for international use

Our international offices have agreed to begin using Framemaker to
create locale specific documentaion. They will use the same tags and
formats we do, but things like paper size being different will surely
have some impact on the general page layout, master pages etc.

First, I am trying to compile a list of things to check to ensure I have
covered everything. If anyone has done this before and is willing to
share things to watch for, I would appreciate it.

Second, Is it necessary to maintain a completely separate set of
templates just because of the different page size? I would rather not
have to maintain templates that have only 5% differences.

Thirdly, if parallel templates are required, what is the easiest method
for maintaining the changes? and keeping the templates synchronized?

Any and all suggestions or comments are appreciated.

Thanks,

Roy Lewis
