Translation Memory

Forum topic: Submitted by jbcampo on Wed, 2007-11-14 17:42.

We are planning to migrate our legacy html data to XML, and hopefully DITA. Legacy data was created in RoboHelp HTML 2002. A big issue is the impact on existing Translation Memory.

We do in-house translation into 12 non-English languages. Translators use SDLX Trados and related Trados tools (Tag Editor) to localize from English source. Translators have an enormous existing Translation Memory for each language.

Introduction to DITA, Arbortext Edition

Blog entry: Submitted by Bob Doyle on Fri, 2007-11-09 03:19. Last updated on Mon, 2007-11-12 10:12.

Comtech Services' Introduction to DITA has been produced in a new version featuring PTC Arbortext Editor and Styler.

All the great content from the original edition is there, but many illustrations are now screenshots from Arbortext Editor. Instead of the XML markup code for examples, you see the tags-on view in Arbortext Editor.

PTC Arbortext DITA Service Manual Application

Blog entry: Submitted by Bob Doyle on Fri, 2007-11-09 03:15. Last updated on Mon, 2007-11-12 10:10.

PTC Arbortext has developed a custom DITA application that provides 80-90% of the work to produce a service manual for web and print publication.

Featuring a number of DITA topic specializations (SMA Task, SMA Concept, SMA Reference, and a Troubleshooting specialization), coordinated XSL stylesheets produce a manual with a standard two-column layout.

The SMA shows the competitive advantage of managing a DITA project with integrated tools from Arbortext Editor with Styler.
