updating index

Hi, @DejanBGD ,

1) as @Bob_Niland mentioned the text in index-markers must be translated as well.

2) as @FrameMaker-dk mentioned you must also tell FM about how the cyrillic alphabet is sorted to get a correct index.

This is to be done on the index reference page.

Regards

Have you tried modifying the index sorting with the cyrillic alphabet? I believe that was how I managed to make it work last time I did a russian language manual

Have you changed the sorting markers on the reference pages in the index? You will need cyrillic characters in order to sort the cyrillic index words.

An aid to step through all index markers (and correct them) might be my script FMmarkers. I suggest you first read the documentation. 

In the main text, take a look at some of the Markers of type Index, with the Insert Marker dialog up.

When these are first created, usually by selecting the word or phrase of interest, the Marker Text is pre-populated with the text as it appeared at time of Marker insertion. The Marker Text may not precisely match the original text selection, having been edited (and often is, to normalize capitalization, etc.). If the Body text is translated, and the Marker is not revised at that time, it remains as originally auto-populated|edited, in the original language.

I'm not aware of any way to automate a revision of these. One problem is that the Marker has no record of the text span/range, and even if it did, it would have no way to know what conventions were used to normalize Index entries. The Marker is just a moveable point object, that isn't even necessarily at the start of the range. The Marker Text can also include markup & operators to control Index formatting, adding further challenges for any desire to automate translation.

Some of the available translation tools may have aids. Otherwise, it's going to be a process of stepping through the .fm files via Find Marker-OfType.
