Hi Mike,
Based on my understanding of what Max is trying to do, the FrameScript or
FDK portion would be used to "lookup" the correct translation stored in a
database.

1. It sounds like you just need to create a user variable for each term
and insert the variables at the appropriate spots in your document.
2. Then, make several other template documents (one for each language)
that have the same user variables, but define them with the translated
definitions.
3. To replace the content in the main document, simply be sure the
translation template is also open, then, in the main document, choose
File> Import Formats. Select the import template and import the user
variables from the template. It will replace the content in a flash.
You don't need Framescript or the FDK for something so simple in
FrameMaker.
Another method would be to put all the translations in your document, and
conditionalize them by language. For example, add text that says "Hello
Hola Bonjour." Give each word the appropriate condition for English,
Spanish, and French. Then, hiding the inappropriate conditions-- hiding
Spanish and French conditions for the English version, for example-- would
display only "Hello."
