Hi y'all -
My team is responsible for Version 1 docs for a Version 1 product. We are
probably not going to localize right away, but should we successfully launch
our product and avoid the Grim Technology Startup Reaper, we are very likely
to be faced with localization for V2. We'd like this to be as painless as
possible, but we're not that naive. Are there things we could be doing to
our V1 project to make the process of localization any easier when it
darkens our doors? We're authoring Robohelp (WebHelp) and a mess o' PDFs
that will probably be sourced in HTML. Oh, Japanese is a definite
possibility.
Thanks much. I anticipate appreciating both the advice and the hilarious
by-products of this question.
