About five years ago while I
was writing for Digital Equipment
Corporation's
International Systems Engineering group
(before I was "right sized"),
they
published "Developing International
User Information," a book for
writers,
editors, and graphic designers. It provides
help in planning for
localization and
translation, as well as for designing, writing
and illustrating
international user information.
The ISBN number is DP ISBN 1-5558-84-X
if
anyone is interested. I think it is still
available. I know that
another book from
that group on developing international software,
which was
created about the same time,
is still available.
