This brings up a topic that will affect us soon. My company just merged with a company on England. They write their manuals the English way (i.e. colour, theatre etc.) and we write the American way (color, theater). In 2007, I will be working on a project with them so the docset will be split up between their local tech writer and me.
So the question is, which English do we standardize on?

When you install it you see a dialog asking you to choose between US English or International English. I guess you wouldn't see this dialog if you had a US-only version. Choosing International English installs A4 versions of the custom templates. I don't think there's any other difference. (One extra step I take after installing is to change the "Language" setting in maker.ini from USEnglish to UKEnglish - this sets UK English as the default language in the designers.) _____________________________ Phil Heron CODA Group International Ltd Tel +44 (0)1423 509999 __________________________________ -----Original Message----- From: framers-bounces+phil.heron=coda.com at lists.frameusers.com [mailto:framers-bounces+phil.heron=coda....@lists.frameusers.com] On Behalf Of Andersen, Verner Engell VEA Sent: 14 December 2006 07:21 To: Framers at FrameUsers.com Subject: Difference between us and international english Framemaker All Is there a difference between International and US Framemaker.
