Hi,
Thank you all very much for your suggestions.
Solutions were:
o 2 separate translations:
- Convert to HTML, get it translated and convert to
HTML Help.
- Convert to Word, get it translated and create a PDF.
Thus the online help will still be context sensitive.
The second translation will cost money but in the era of
translation memory systems hopefully not to much.
o Convert to XML, get that translated. Then:
- Convert the XML to HTML via XSLT.
- Convert the XML to PDF via LaTeX.
o Convert everything to InDesign. However then I don't
have an online help.
o Mess around with the registry to get FrameMaker to
handle right to left languages. Seemed to be only a
solution for 2 page documents.
No-one suggested a converter from Word to HTML Help.
Best regards
Winfried
