Abstract:

As more companies move into markets beyond their borders, many technical communicators are faced with this new situation of having to deal with more than one language for their documentation The costs and time involved in localising and maintaining these documents can be substantial. This paper briefly discusses some of our experiences and gives some pointers on how a technical communicator can ensure the successful maintenance of documentation across several languages.
