Question

Does FrameMaker support the different line breaking rules in East-Asian languages?

East-Asian languages have line breaking rules of their own. Does FrameMaker support these different standards? I use Framemaker 12 to create various documents in English that are then translated into many languages. I'd like to make sure that line breaks are dealt with properly in those languages as well as in other languages, especially Korean, Japanese, Chinese, and Thai.

I'd like information on which languages are supported and for which versions of FrameMaker.

Thank you!

I don't do any localization, but wouldn't your translation service handle that?

Check your help file in FM12 - there's a topic about "Multilanguage authoring" that talks about line breaks...

Thank you for your answers. The help file mentions support for Asian characters, but does not mention anything about word wrap and line breaks.

Our translation services send MIF files that we convert into FM files. We take care of DTP ourselves, which is why I need to enquire support for line breaks into these languages.
