Welcome to Adobe FrameMaker Essentials, an online workshop series on the market-leading software for authoring and publishing technical content, Adobe FrameMaker. Here is your exclusive opportunity to learn from renowned technical communication experts and get hands-on training on Adobe FrameMaker.
Managing content in a single language is already challenging, but supporting multiple languages and regions significantly amplifies the complexity. Adobe FrameMaker simplifies this process, saving you both time and money through its robust support for localization using the industry-standard XLIFF format. XLIFF streamlines the translation workflow and ensures consistency across different languages, making the process more efficient and less error-prone. Join Matt Sullivan, an Adobe Certified Expert and Trainer, as he demonstrates how FrameMaker can optimize your translation management process.
In this session, Matt will guide you through preparing DITA and unstructured files for XLIFF-based translation workflows, comparing the costs of XLIFF versus non-XLIFF translation, and exporting your content to XLIFF. You’ll learn how vendors accept and process these files and how you can import the translated XLIFF-files back into Adobe FrameMaker for seamless publishing.
Additionally, the session will cover how to manage templates for translated content effectively, ensuring a smooth localization process.
