Include all automatically generated text in DITA file

For localization purposes and to make things easier for me to manage, I would like to eliminate all text that FrameMaker EDDs and output templates automatically add when you tag and publish a DITA file (to PDF). Instead, I would prefer to include this text in the actual DITA file, for example, prefixes for “Note” elements, text in frames on FrameMaker reference pages, as well as text assigned by paragraph numbering. Do I have to modify all existing EDDs and output templates to achieve this, or is there a better way?
