Hi All,
 
I have been reading for a while, but this is my first post to the ATW list. 
Please be gentle :-)


I am seeking information regarding processes and tools for translating Help to 
other languages.
 
I work in the documentation team for a software company, and we will soon need 
to produce our Help in Korean, Mandarin and German. This is new for us.
 
We are going to embark on a project to determine the best solution for us, 
including the right authoring tool (we currently use RoboHelp) and 3rd party 
translation services.
 

I'd like to consult the ATW brains trust for any information regarding how to 
approach the translation process.
 
I am interested in hearing your experiences, and would greatly appreciate 
knowing any potential pitfalls. Are there any Help authoring tools that lend 
themselves to the translation process?
 
Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
