Reply To: A good workflow for multi language documents?

A workflow I commonly come across is:
1. finalise (and I do mean finalise) the design elements and text of the original language version.
2. send IDML for translation into other languages (by translators using computer aided translation – CAT – tools).
3. adjust each version as needed (mostly for overset text) once the translations are done.

No layers for different languages, but separate files instead.
If there are later changes, go round again, but this time the CAT tool means you only translate new/changed text.
