Hi Manisha, We write for more than six countries. Yes, you would have customise your documentation for the local audience. The dictionaries will help you determine the best term to use for localisation. But single-sourcing and conditions should do the trick - easier to maintain.

Briefing for the query: I am working for an Indian Company, spreading its wings now in Australia and US. My concern was - will I have to customize documentation for audience in Australia, US and obviously for India? Customization for each will mean a separate documentation set for each and then obviously maintenance also. I will go through the dictionaries you all have suggested and then decide. Thanx once again Regards Manisha ************************************************** To post a message to austechwriter, send the message to austechwriter@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx To subscribe to austechwriter, send a message to austechwriter-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx with "subscribe" in the Subject field.
