[csforum] documentation issues, including translations

[Roger McNaught]

Hi all,   We design industrial instruments and software, and we have a continuing issue with our documentation - manuals for the instruments and on-line docs and help files for the software - with the added complication that we need to also consider translation into non-latin character sets.   Although we have pretty much decided upon LaTex for the internal standard (but we're not committed to it), I'd be interested to know what everyone else does about these things.   Also, we've thought about getting hold of a technical author who could take responsibility for these matters, and I'd be interested to know whether theres anyone out there who might be useful to us.   Any suggestions?   Roger McNaught   Commtest Instruments Limited 28b Moorhouse Ave Christchurch New Zealand +64 3 374 2337
