Frame 10 XML/translation question

[Yves Barbion]

Hi Michael

Find a "translation service" (or translation company) which accepts MIF as
input. If this is not an option, you could save your FM files as MIF and
convert those to XLIFF (XLIFF = XML Localisation Interchange Format).
Translation tools like Swordfish and others (some of the ones which Wim
Hooghwinkel mentioned) can handle this very well.

And you don't really need FrameMaker 10 to get the Japanese translation
back into FrameMaker. FrameMaker 7.2 does not support Unicode, but this
does not mean that it cannot handle Japanese text. All you need is a custom
font, for example MS Mincho.

Kind regards
