Product documentation is often designed with little thought to its impact on the translation process. This represents a missed opportunity, since the layout and design of your documentation can have as great an impact on localization cost, turnaround time and quality as the content itself. However, it can be a real headache, trying to fit an ever-increasing number of languages – including double-byte languages – into your Instructions for Use, user manuals, and marketing materials. This audio conference presentation shares best practices and pitfalls to avoid when designing documents that will be translated into other languages. Attendees benefit from the first-hand insight of a veteran localizaton professional discussing how best to create graphics, set margins, select fonts and choose software to get the most out of their translation dollars.
