As a result they often need to produce documentation in several languages to meet market demands. The quality of the source document plays an important part in controlling the cost and release date of the localised documents. This article discusses several issues that need to be considered when producing documents for the multilingual marketplace. http://tc.eserver.org/19260.html http://tc.eserver.org/19260.html As a result of acquisitions and mergers, companies can find themselves working together worldwide and sharing documentation to distribute in different markets. The original source documentation will probably need to be adapted by some of the companies in the distribution channel to accommodate different languages, branding and content in order to meet the requirements of these different markets. This sharing and reuse of documentation between companies worldwide is easier when all the companies in the distribution channel share a common style guide. http://tc.eserver.org/13247.html http://tc.eserver.org/13247.html This presentation is aimed at all those who would like to either participate in a Technical Publications Competition in a language other than English or organize multilingual Technical Publications in their chapter. And we hope you will! We briefly describe why and how we came to organize multilingual competition in the France Chapter. There is some practical information but feel free to ask us questions. We will do our best to answer you.
