We have a sister company in Taiwan that is going to do the translation of
one of our instruction manuals into Traditional Chinese. Another sister
company, this one in Shanghai, has been doing translations in Simplified
Chinese for a couple of years. They take our PDF files created from
FrameMaker documents and replace the English text with Simplified Chinese.
Really.
The man doing this for the Taiwan office wants to find a machine
translation tool to do the primary translation, which he would then
proofread, rather than translating the whole manual, manually. I had given
him the link to babelfish.altavista.com, but he'd like something that will
process the whole document, without him having to cut and paste between
programs.
I found a program called LogoMedia that looks pretty good. Has anyone had
experience with that, or have any other ideas to offer?
