Dear Edwin, the usual process (for translation using Trados Workbench or TagEditor, I do not know about SDL Edit) is:
1. save .fm as .mif 2. convert .mif to .rtf (for translation using Trados Workbench) or to .ttx (translation using TagEditor) via the STagger for FrameMaker filter. You should end up with as many .rtf or .ttx as source documents + an ancillary file (containing template information etc.) 3. translate your doc using Trados Workbench or TagEditor. 4. Backconvert to .mif using STagger for FrameMaker 5. Save your .mif as .fm and check that the layout, Xrefs, etc are OK (basic QA check).
