Yuk. 1) You are using relative pathing, correct, where all files live withn the same folder structure and not out on some network drive.
2) How was this translated. Is it possible the translator botched something by translating the MIF files or whatnot? Perhaps the translator deleted cross-reference markers? 3) Could there be issues with conditional text? 4) If the links worked when you sent it out, is the translator responsible for fixing the errors? They might have an easier time with the Japanese. Cheers and g'luck. Sean -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Lisa M. Bronson (TCP) Sent: Wednesday, December 13, 2006 12:11 PM To: [email protected] Subject: [TCP] broken cross references Hi everyone, The longer I use FrameMaker (7.0 p579 on Windows XP), the more I realize I don't know about the program. I sent documents out for translation, and they came back with a number of broken cross references (~50). The only thing I know to do is to look at each corresponding cross reference in the English file, figure out what it's referencing, find the corresponding location in the Japanese, and fix the cross reference to go to that location. Since I don't speak or read Japanese, the thought of doing that 50 times is making me rather cross. :( Does anyone know a better way to fix this? If not, please send chocolate.
