Hi Art,

You will have to edit the variable definitions and translate the literal
text to Spanish. You can then import the variable definitions from the one
document into the rest of the book (File > Import > Formats). You have to do
the same thing with the literal text in the autonumbers of paragraph
formats, as well as cross-reference formats. Please let me know if you need
some automation help with this. Thanks.

Subject: [Framers] FrameMaker variable language

May be a novice question for you guys who work in translation, but it's new
to me.

I'm updating an already translated-into-Spanish document with some new
screen shots (I don't speak Spanish, so I'm not messing with the text at
all). The problem is that the variables, like the Table Continuation, are
coming in as English instead of Spanish.

How can I get it to read "continuado" instead of "continued," hopefully
without messing up my installation too much?
