Translations or Localisation of Framemaker content
Dianne's right. You do need an LSP. A couple of quick things to look for as you vet providers: 1. Do they use only professional translators? ATA certified or LISA 2. Do they use only mother tongue translators living in the target country? 3. Are their editors and proofreaders professional translators, mother tongue, living in target country? 4. Do they have access to translators with a technical background in your industry, if necessary. Sorry so disjointed, dashed this quickly before a meeting... I'll add our company's contact to your list: Ed Laprath The ComWell Group, llc www.thecomwellgroup.com ed.laprath at thecomwellgroup.com Good luck, All the best, Bryan Bryan K.

Handling Large FrameMaker Books
adding to Pappy's response... i've noticed Frame doesn't like it when you bury files within multiple sub-folders.

Are you opening all the files in the book before you do the book-wide commands? 650 pages isn't all that big.

Re: Networking in the NYMetro area.
John, If I may suggest, you may want to join Linkedin and start a local NY metro group. It's a great way to network and the individual groups can include calendars and such to help facilitate more focused, in person, networking. Doubt I'd be of much help to you, as I'm in Ohio, but i'd be happy to include you in my network. ( http://www.linkedin.com/in/bryankjohnson ) http://www.linkedin.com/in/bryankjohnsonBryan >>> John Posada 1/29/2009 3:04 PM >>> Hi, guys...hope this isn't out of line for this list, but at times like these when everyone says network, network, netwiork, I'd like to reach out to the writers in the NY metro area. Some of us are out of work and looking, and some of you are working and trying to stay that way. I'd like to start a "club" that will meet in person for the purpose of finding/keeping/referring jobs. Maybe we can compare notes, maybe help each other critique each other's resumes and portfolios, pasing along opportunities for freelance work that may not be a fit for you but good for someone esle, yada yada. It's gotta be better than just sitting home, responding to Dice, and otherwise, contemplating our navels. What do you think? If there is enough interest, I can start up a Yahoo group just for this purpose and figure out scheduling for getting together maybe every 2 weeks? This is open to both those who are in positions and those who are not. Besides...what better way to meet socially and since it is job-search related, mostly tax deductable (but that's between you and your accountant) Respond off-list please and for the purpose I'm describing, please be in the NY metro area.. -- John Posada Senior Technical Writer NYMetro STC President Looking for the next gig. ^ ComponentOne Doc-To-Help 2009 is your all-in-one authoring and publishing solution.
