RE: [docbook-apps] "translated" indexes

["Rowland, Larry" <larry.rowland@hp.com>]

We use an XSLT script to add the sortas attribute to the documents before we turn it over to the Japanese localizers, since some of the translation memory tools they use do not allow them to modify the structure of the document (and the attributes attached to an element is considered part of the structure by the tools).

Regards,
Larry

Correct. When the translators translate your document, instruct them to add sortas attributes with the term transliterated in hiragana/katakana. This applies to your glossentrys as well.

Ok, so you need to add that code to the Japanese DocBook file, right ?
