TechWhirl (TECHWR-L) is a resource for technical writing and technical communications professionals of all experience levels and in all industries to share their experiences and acquire information.
For two decades, technical communicators have turned to TechWhirl to ask and answer questions about the always-changing world of technical communications, such as tools, skills, career paths, methodologies, and emerging industries. The TechWhirl Archives and magazine, created for, by and about technical writers, offer a wealth of knowledge to everyone with an interest in any aspect of technical communications.
One very good reason for using Word Perfect (it's what we use it for) is
that it's quite comfortable working in Japanese as well as in english, or
for that matter in most other languages.
I should note that we're using it on a Mac, and version 3.0 for the Mac is
quite adept at working under several different languages, including those
which read from right to left instead of left to right. We're quite happy
with it, so far. Microsoft, on the other hand, continues to treat the Mac
as if it were another Windows machine, and so doesn't support any feature
of the Mac which doesn't have a Windows analog. Therefore, no real foreign
language support.
Have Fun,
