So, I gather we'd need this CS4-ME for these students. Oh dear, the plot thickens. I will explain briefly the purpose of this module at a translation course. One of the types of documetns I translate is tech manuals that, more often than note, are written in FrameMaker, Quark and more recently, InDesign. The end client wants the manual ready for printing or a pdf of the end product. So, with specialist software, the text is extracted from these programs, translated with the help of a CAT (Computer Aided Tool), with specialist glossaries, and then exported back in the original format, saving precious hours and money in dtp. And as this course is mostly translation technology oriented we decided to introduce a dtp module (they also learn web design, as, yes, as you've guessed, we translated html/xml as well) to prepare the students for the real market. Gone are the days that all one needed to be a translator was a typewriter and a couple of dictionaries.
