Fundamental question about EDD - why localized? Will this cause problems in other languages?

Hi,
I am running a German version of FrameMaker. All commands in the EDD appear in German. What happens when someone uses the EDD with an English or Chinese version of FrameMaker? Will this work as well?
If editors have a look at the EDD, do they see German commands or commands in their own language?
Can I simply change to English instead of German commands? 
Thanks for your reply.

Hi Apollo,
the EDDs are based on a Meta-EDD, that carries the whole localization of the EDD structure and the EDD structure itself.
This Meta-EDD is the elemcat file Lynne mentioned. If you replace it with a version that is localized in some other language, your standard EDD will take over that localization.
You could even modify the Meta-EDD to suit your EDD building needs better (I already saw some approach into that direction) or you could localize your EDDs to some completely different and yet unsupported language if you liked (Klingon EDD style, qapla'!).
The localization in itself is bound to the file where you embed the EDD (or Meta-EDD), so everyone who opens the EDD will find the language used for the original.

  • I need to download dell drivers to a jumpdrive connected to my iMac.  Will this cause problems with my Mac?

    I need to download dell drivers to a jumpdrive connected to my iMac.  Will this cause problems with my Mac?

    Thanks.  These drivers are for the audio, etc. for a dell laptop I purchased used.  ( Needed something cheap for a training video that would only run on Windows.  Tried Emedia player but picture was too fuzzy.)  Dell support said I should contact Apple support for instructions on how to get the drivers onto the jumpdrive.  Any tips on doing that?

  • File Vault encryption locked up.  No progress for 24 hrs.  If I restore from a non-encypted back-up will this cause problems?

    Started file vault yesterday and no progress for 24 hrs.  If I do a Command-R restore from a non-encrypted back-up will this cause problems?

    You first must repartition and reformat the drive before restoring your backup.
    Install or Reinstall OS X from Scratch
    Boot to the Recovery HD:
    Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND and R keys until the menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears. Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
    Erase the hard drive:
      1. Select Disk Utility from the main menu and click on the Continue button.
      2. After DU loads select your startup volume (usually Macintosh HD) from the
          left side list. Click on the Erase tab in the DU main window.
      3. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Optionally, click on
          the Security button and set the Zero Data option to one-pass. Click on
          the Erase button and wait until the process has completed.
      4. Quit DU and return to the main menu.
    Reinstall OS X: Select Reinstall OS X and click on the Install button.
    Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet if possible
               because it is three times faster than wireless.
    This should install the version of OS X that you had installed.

  • Been shutting off my Macbook Pro for months. Will this cause problems?

    Hi,
    I only just read today that it's actually best to keep a Macbook Pro on sleep at night and not shut. Is this true? If it is I'll be doing from now on.
    Also, I've been shutting my Macbook Pro off at night, every night, even several times during the day if I'm using it during the day. Will this damage it? If so is there anyway to reverse the effects that shutting t down might do?

    It makes no real difference whether you shut it down or put it to sleep. Sleep is faster for wakeup than rebooting is. Shutdown saves on electricity or battery power (if not connected to the AC adaptor.)
    No harm is caused by shutting down. If you are traveling it's better to shutdown. If not using the computer for a couple of hours then putting it to sleep will let you get back to work quicker.
    The computer should be shutdown if it's not going to be used for more than 8-12 hours.

  • Could someone help me quickly, i put in new harddrive, lion is installing, but snow leopard cd is in my drive - will this cause problems?

    the harddrive on my 2008 24" imac died, i purchased a new harddrive and my husband installed it with no problem.  i had some misinformation that i would have to reinstall snow leopard and then i could upgrade to lion.
    i turned on the computer put the snow leopard installation cd in the drive, then my computer opens to the pewter gray linen looking screen and i see that i can install lion from there.  i used the disk utility and erased the new drive, and  reformatted and then i went back to the install lion screen and lion is downloading with no problem, BUT that snow leopard cd is in my drive and i can't eject it.  is it going to give me problems when the computer automatically reboots?  will it try to reboot to that cd instead of continuing with the lion install?  can i hold down my mouse to eject it when it reboots or will that mess up the installation?
    confused, and i have an hour and 33 minutes to figure it out before it downloads.  panicking here.
    any help would be appreciated!

    thank you for answering so quickly, i was really concerned that the computer would try to boot from that cd instead of continuing with the lion install.  this was too easy, i'm used to windows installation which is complicated.  i should have known apple would have made it simple for me. thanks again for the help!

  • I use Open Office as my program. it does convert to msoffice. Will this cause me any problems in converting content ?

    I use open Office for my work. I can convert to ms office. will this cause any problems ?

    Hi warbird16,
    I'm curious how PDF comes into play. If you're only dealing wit OpenOffice > MS Office, and are wondering how those two applications interact, Microsoft is better suited to answer that.
    If you're wondering about converting PDF files to Word, that does fall into Adobe's realm. Can you please elaborate on how the pieces fit together in your workflow?
    I look forward to hearing back from you.
    Best,

  • I have enrolled for the apple developer program but apparently have the same account name in iBooks. I need to change the iBooks account but don't know how. Do I change my apple id? Will this cause me problems with iTunes etc etc?

    I have enrolled for the apple developer program but apparently already have an account with iBooks, cant have this it seems.how do I change my iBooks account, is this the apple id for my iPad and if I change this will it cause problems accessing iTunes etc?

    I guess nobody knows if the crash that occured was legitimate or not?  Apple phone support could do nothing for me, so I guess I am left to drive 45 minutes to the nearest store.

  • HT204411 iTunes store - I live in the German speaking part of Switzerland (and have a credit card address here too) but want to watch films in English, Italian, or French. Why are films not available in these other languages ?

    Hello, I live in the German speaking part of Switzerland (and have a credit card address here too) but want to watch films in English, Italian, or French. Why are films not available in these other languages ? Unless I am mistaken, iTunes Switzerland is far from Swiss and does not encourage its people to watch films in the local languages of its country (at least French and Italian would be good too...). Can anyone help ? Do I have to move to Geneva to watch a non French film in French or Lugano to watch a non Italian film in Italian or simply buy a DVD to get round it?

    I have the same problem. I want to watch any movies in French (in the original, or subtitled and/or dubbed). But I cannot seem to find any on iTunes. Does iTunes offer any content in other countries (I live overseas) in the languages of those countries?

  • If I install the update to Adobe Reader 10, will that cause problems with Acrobat Pro 9?

    Firefox (version 15.0.1) is telling me I need to install an update to Adobe Acrobat 9.4 in order to view pdf files in my browser. I use Acrobat Pro 9. The update is actually Adobe Reader 10, and I am wondering if I install this, will it cause problems with my version of Acrobat Pro?
    Because I am not sure if this is so, I have temporarily disabled the plug-in and now pdf files download automatically rather than display in my browser. I would prefer they open in my browser but do not want to upgrade to Acrobat X.
    My OS is Windows Vista. I did not include the "troubleshooting information" file because I'm not sure what specific info is being requested.
    Thanks for any help.

  • My husband shares my Apple ID  but now I see that this causes problems so how can I take him off my account so he can get his own  Apple ID ?

    My husband shares my Apple ID but now I see that this causes problems.   So how can he get his own Apple ID for his device?

    I agree that having separate Apple IDs is a good idea. It helps keep things from getting confused between two user who might have different needs and wants on their devices.
    You husband should save and backup to a computer all the files, photos and music that he wants to keep. He should also save any files created with the apps on his device. Once that is done he can use the Settings app to erase his device.
    Settings > General > Reset > Erase all Content and Settings
    He can then set up his device as new and create an Apple ID for himself. Once the device is up and running he can purchase and/or download the apps he wants and sync with a computer to restore the photos, files, etc.
    To make syncing easier, with two Apple IDs, I suggest that you each use a different computer to sync with OR you have separate accounts on one computer. This way there will be two separate iTunes libraries and syncing with each will be straightforward.

  • I replaced my hard drive and used time machine to boot from but it installedthe unrepaired disk permissions of the faulty previous drive would this cause problems on my new drive?

    I replaced my hard drive on macbook pro and used time machine to boot from but it also installed the unrepaired disk permmissions of the other drive, would this cause problems to my new drive?

    Can you remember what the permissions problem was that you had before? You may need to reinstall OS X from scratch and not reinstall anything from your Time Machine backups. To be on the safe side you should reinstall all third-party applications from scratch, as well. Then only restore from your backup your document/data files.

    I installed the latest version of flash player and it said installed successfully and i can use it just fine, but when I checked system requirements it didnt seem to match. it needed 2.33 ghz and I have 2.13ghz. can this cause problems to my computer? i have an intel i3 proccessor, windows 7, internet explorer.

    Since all Intel i3 processors have at least 2 cores, your specs are well above the requirements; see http://ark.intel.com/products/family/75025#@All
    I have some computers with far slower processors, and Flash Player 14 works perfectly well on them too.

  • Installed OS X twice, will this cause trouble?

    I took my brand new MacBook Pro out of the box and inserted the OS X instillation DVD, not realizing (stupidly) that its a back up DVD and that OS X is already installed. I stopped the install midway, will this hurt my new MacBook????

    Rather than reinstall, use the restore disk. That should put it back into the condition that it was before you mucked things up. Additionally, that should also include the additional software that came with the machine. You'll have to go through the setup manager again, but that's a small price to pay to recover from your miscue.

  • I have two Iphones with different email addresses sharing one Apple ID. Will that cause problems with using messaging and FaceTime?

    I have two Iphones 5 with different email addresses sharing one Apple ID account.Both are using IOS 8.
    I would like to set up a new Apple Id for one of the phones and remove it from the old account.
    If I do that, can I move all of the purchased apps and songs to the new Apple account?
    Also, will sharing one Apple ID account with two devices cause problems with using messaging and FaceTime?

    Sharing an iCloud account between two devices can be done without causing issues with iMessage and FaceTime, just go into Settings for each of these functions and designate separate points of contact (i.e. phone number only, or phone number and unique email address).  While that works, you'll then face the problem where a phone call to one iPhone will ring both if on the same Wi-Fi network -- but again, that can be avoided by changing each phone's settings.
    Rather than do all that, don't fight it -- use separate IDs for iCloud.  You can still use a common ID for iTunes purchases (the ID for purchases and iCloud do not have to be the same) or you can use Family Sharing to share purchases from a primary Apple account.
