Hi Verner, I usually use the "Archive" structure, that is to say an overall directory (Product x.y. English) containing, on the same level : . the fm files an book file ; . a "graphic" directory containing all graphics ; . a "text" directory containing all text insets. I copy paste this overal

RE: language specific screen shots in Framemaker

2008-07-03 Thread mathieu jacquet
Hi Verner, what do you really mean by "screen shots are sent to the translator"? As a (English into French) translator, I have never had to translate any screen shot strictly speaking. I usually translate software strings that developers then integrate into the (in my case, French version of)

Running headers calling on formatted variables

2008-08-14 Thread mathieu jacquet
Hi all, I'm using FM 7.2 on XP. In my document, running headers call on Heading1. I sometimes add in 1st-level titles (Heading1) the name of the product, which is a ProductName variable formatted in a certain way (half of the name blue, the other purple). When the product name appears in the

Hi, not sure, but if ever you've got a split word, a second "same" sentence won't appear as a repetition of the first, but as a No Match (new segment), and you'll pay more as well: For example : 1. "this is<:imk 1> a word <:imk 2>with a ma<:imk 3>rker" is : 8 No Match. Cost = 8 x rate per w

Dear Edwin, the usual process (for translation using Trados Workbench or TagEditor, I do not know about SDL Edit) is: 1. save .fm as .mif 2. convert .mif to .rtf (for translation using Trados Workbench) or to .ttx (translation using TagEditor) via the STagger for FrameMaker filter. You shoul

Unfortunately I can only reply that we have the same problem, and that I ended up writing docs straight in the wiki (and banging my head on walls). One of ou dev did a nice job to produce neat HTMLs from the Wiki, but it is still very frech (we're currently profreading the first user's guide wr

FM won't create a second page

Dear all, the second time it happens to me. First : I was writing text on my first page and when I reached the bottom of it, FM did not create a second page to write on but allowed me to write on and on underneath the footer. Second : I inserted an anchored frame in the lowest cell of a table

Conditional tags and translation (FM and Trados)

Dear all, this is not a pure FM problem but here it is: are conditional tags handled by Trados's extension S-Tagger for FrameMaker? I'm currently writing procedures to repair hydraullic motors. The client has large powerful motors and smaller ones. Repair procedures are somehow different depen

Dear all, I have a tough time finding shortcuts for special characters. On the Internet, I found an Ascii table which specifies ALT + 242 for "greater or equal than" ; unfortunately, when I type that, an "equal" character appears. I modified the regional options on my computer (set to French a

Dear all, we're using Frame 9 on XP and 7 with Mif2Go to produce a PDF, Eclipse Help and OmniHelp. Is there any way to automatically launch ouput generation (PDF + HTML) in command line? The idea would be to integrate command lines in a batch to be run while building the software at night. W

Dear Tori, I am a rookie but could nevertheless set up a Frame to EclipseHelp pretty easily using Mif2Go (with some tremendous help from Jeremy of the omsys support team). The thing is that we needed the whole content to be generated as an EclipseHelp, which made things easier. Cheers, Mathie
