Hi dave,
What exactly are you looking for in terms of consideration?
Translating FM files from English to Portuguese shouldn't be any problem for
a translation agency. Framemaker will support Portuguese in any FM version.

¡Thanks for your encouraging words, expertise, and information!
More than five years ago, we did translate into two foreign languages, so we do
have some experience. But, the world has turned over many times since then,
and many things have changed.

Hi Dave,
If you didn't consider MIF files, what would have been your approach (just
curious ...)?

For one translation, we provided and received .fm files. For the other
translation, we provided and received .rtf files.
My thought was to provide and receive .fm files; then, convert the translated
.fm files into on-station help. Translate once; use twice.
I have an index of markers that I am having an issue with. I would have
thought that sort order, by default , would allow my numbers to sort in the

and 9. To me it appears that framemaker is instead looking at the

Hi K'Chebe,
FrameMaker does an ASCII sort instead of a numeric sort. You can force a sort
order in a marker entry by adding the desired sort in square brackets. For
example, you would use
5 [005]
7 [007]
9 [009]
10 [010]
11 [011]
15 [015]
to get the correct sort order.

Yes, if you have lots of time you can do all yourself. But translating is a
