RE: Translations and graphics

["Domaschuk, Rob" <Robd -at- datalogics -dot- com>]

I take a new screen shot in each language (we currently have five). Since I
use SGML, I place the new screen shot in a new folder (e.g.
..\screens\German) and then just change the file path in the ASCII SGML file
for each language.

After I get the translated SGML files and DTD back from the translator,
doing a Find/Replace only takes about 20 minutes (we have a LOT of nested
SGML files to go through). Fortunately, it is a highly effective method and
I never feel like those 20 minutes were wasted. I use a fantastic text
editor to edit all my SGML files (including the DTD and others) which makes
the tweaking of the translated files quick, easy, and pretty reliable.
