Technical instructions for equipment that are produced, certified and sold in the European Union require a specific structure. There are many different formats for synchronizing translated instructions in different languages, but structured XML remains the most common. In addition, this allows with minimal effort to publish technical texts and translations online without attracting resources for redesigning layouts.
The FrameMaker editor has built-in the ability to export and import content into a document with XLIFF support, which is especially important for translators of multilingual instructions. There is also a built-in procedure for importing documents in Word format.
Any layout designer tasked with preparing a technical document in MS Word format for publication on the Internet will tell you what a one-time job it is. After creating an HTML version of the document, further work with it is almost impossible. But layout from Adobe FrameMaker files for the Internet is a completely different process. The logical use of this markup by the editor makes the process easy and transparent.
In Russia, the popularity of packages for layout of presentations, books, magazines, catalogs and even just leaflets has been distributed among several publishing systems: QuarkXpress, Adobe PageMaker and Corel Draw. But unlike these publishing packages, FrameMaker uses a different workflow. First, the layout (template) of the future instruction is created by the layout designer, and then the content is created by the technical writer or a group of editors. With FrameMaker, you can create a wide variety of documents: technical descriptions, manuals, instructions, books, specifications.
Price for translation in FrameMaker
The cost of document translation in FrameMaker does not differ from the cost of translation in the more common Word or Power Point editors, however, a complication can be caused by the fact that not all translators on the required topic work in this system. In some cases, not a translator, but a layout designer will work on page layout in Adobe FrameMaker format. This is an additional service and cost.| Translation Price List | ||
