Hi Fred,
You need to hire an LSP (localization service provider - AKA translation
vendor) to do the work for you. You will likely hear from a number of
people on the list telling you to use the translation vendor they use
because the vendor worked ok for them. While there is nothing wrong with
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

Hi all,
I've just been assigned the task of creating CHM files, which I've never done.
I'm currently working in FM 7.2 on a WinXP box.
Is there an application that I can plug into Frame to generate CHM files or

Carol,
The FM help and book both list \f as being the sequence for finding the
end-of-flow or end-of-table-cell character (which I think is what you
mean by the section symbol), so something like [0-9] \f _should_ work.
However, trying it out (on FM 7, Windows XP), it does seem to work, but

I am surprised that Jeremy hasn't jumped on this one already.
Mif2Go (www.omsys.com) will give you very good chm. They have a fully

I might even have a configuration file that could be modified to spit out a
