Off topic: Helping translators with localised screen shots
My English manual with 300+ screen shots is now going to be updated and then translated into 6 languages. The screen shots are to be localized. I use SnagIt 7.2.3. I plan to give them my English manual with the English screen shots as links. The idea is that they replace the English screen shots with the localised ones. I realize that I may help the translators in different ways, so that it is easier for them to get the screen shots into Framemaker without having to rescale them. Maybe I should have 2 or 3 standard. dpi settings for imported graphics? Which ones do you suggest? For some screens I have minimized the application window before I take the screen shot in order to display all screen texts in a readable way in Framemaker. What are your guidelines for translators who are to take screen shots? What are you guidelines for importing screen shots into Framemaker?

RE: Off topic: Helping translators with localised screen shots
Hi Verner, I take also the screenshots in other languages. Translators could not deal with our software, and if I had to explain how they could open a specific window, I rather do it myself. I have a multilingual Windows, so that all buttons (also buttons like Cancel) will have the correct language. I do not scale any screenshot in a picture editor. And I also do not have screenshots of parts of windows. Thus windows in other languages have the same size. Screenshots are only scaled in FrameMaker. If I exchange the screenshot of a language with that of another language in another size, no rescaling is needed. I use EPS for the import in FrameMaker. I know that some people request scaling in a picture editor as part of their workflow. In my oppinion this is a waste of time. The scaling is done in the Distiller.

Re: Off topic: Helping translators with localised screen shots
If I were you, I'd provide a set of directories, one for each language, each containing a set of graphics with the same name so FM can just pull them in without modification. Then the translators would just plug in the correct directory, or you would only provide the correct one initially. Unless the screen change size a great deal based on the text content, I would just match whatever DPI you're already using. I usually use 200 or 240 in Snagit, but have gone down as far as 166 -- depends if you're delivering print and/or PDFs, or oneline help, or something else -- in general though, you can always scale down; you can't always (successfully) scale up.

I second Art's suggestion on duplicate graphic folders for each language, with localized files named the same as the originals. It's exactly what we do with our translations.

Undo History will be lost. OK to continue? Does anyone have an idea why this occurs and how to disable it? I have never seen this before. This warning comes as part of the muliple undo implementation. Certain operations clear the memory buffer that holds the information necessary to undo previous operations. By default, FrameMaker 8.0 warns you compulsively, each and every time the buffer is about to be cleared. But if you go to FilePreferencesGeneral, you'll find options that allow you to reduce the frequency of the warnings to the first time per session or to turn them off altogether. -Fred Ridder ___ You are currently subscribed to Framers as arch...@mail-archive.com.

Off topic: Helping translators with localised screen shots
My English manual with 300+ screen shots is now going to be updated and then translated into 6 languages. The screen shots are to be localized. I use SnagIt 7.2.3. I plan to give them my English manual with the English screen shots as links. The idea is that they replace the English screen shots with the localised ones. I realize that I may help the translators in different ways, so that it is easier for them to get the screen shots into Framemaker without having to rescale them. Maybe I should have 2 or 3 standard. dpi settings for imported graphics? Which ones do you suggest? For some screens I have minimized the application window before I take the screen shot in order to display all screen texts in a readable way in Framemaker. What are your guidelines for translators who are to take screen shots? What are you guidelines for importing screen shots into Framemaker?

Hi Verner, I take also the screenshots in other languages. Translators could not deal with our software, and if I had to explain how they could open a specific window, I rather do it myself. I have a multilingual Windows, so that all buttons (also buttons like Cancel) will have the correct language. I do not scale any screenshot in a picture editor. And I also do not have screenshots of parts of windows. Thus windows in other languages have the same size. Screenshots are only scaled in FrameMaker. If I exchange the screenshot of a language with that of another language in another size, no rescaling is needed. I use EPS for the import in FrameMaker. I know that some people request scaling in a picture editor as part of their workflow. In my oppinion this is a waste of time. The scaling is done in the Distiller.

If I were you, I'd provide a set of directories, one for each language, each containing a set of graphics with the same name so FM can just pull them in without modification. Then the translators would just plug in the correct directory, or you would only provide the correct one initially. Unless the screen change size a great deal based on the text content, I would just match whatever DPI you're already using. I usually use 200 or 240 in Snagit, but have gone down as far as 166 -- depends if you're delivering print and/or PDFs, or oneline help, or something else -- in general though, you can always scale down; you can't always (successfully) scale up.

This warning comes as part of the muliple undo implementation. Certain operations clear the memory buffer that holds the information necessary to undo previous operations. By default, FrameMaker 8.0 warns you compulsively, each and every time the buffer is about to be cleared. But if you go to File>Preferences>General, you'll find options that allow you to reduce the frequency of the warnings to the first time per session or to turn them off altogether. -Fred Ridder
