The latest installment in ENLASO's educational webinar series features expert localization engineer Doug Pearson in an intensive one-hour webinar that explores how structured FrameMaker 7 files streamline multilingual publishing and product localization processes - improving overall project quality, cost, and turnaround.

This technical presentation is designed for professionals who are responsible for the planning and execution of multilingual product development, multilingual publishers, localization engineers, and technical writers.

With the release of version 7, FrameMaker greatly enhances its compatibility with XML by allowing XML-like structure in its formatted documents, while previous versions forced all structure into a cumbersome, not-very-extensible flavor of XML.

Using dynamic examples and demonstrations, Pearson will highlight:

• How FrameMaker7 successfully integrates structure into a WYSIWYG publishing environment.
• How FrameMaker7's EDD (Element Definition Document) files both define the structure and dictate formatting of Frame7 documents based on that structure. Global product managers and publishers do not have to be programmers to develop structured FrameMaker files.
• The ease with which structured FrameMaker7 files can write-to/read-from XML files to facilitate translation or any other operation using XML files.
• How custom plug-ins can greatly increase the benefits of using structured Frame7 far beyond its already-powerful "out of the box" features.

Doug Pearson is a recognized localization engineer with nearly a decade of experience in multilingual publishing. Pearson's expertise empowers global clients to migrate from traditional publishing environments to structured single-source solutions that output to multiple formats with improved quality, reduced costs, and faster time-to-market.
