Yes, our DITAToo integration is designed to support all DITA content types comprehensively. It efficiently handles standard content such as topics, maps, and bookmaps, ensuring that each element is processed accurately. Additionally, it accommodates specialized content types, providing flexibility and robustness for varied documentation needs. The integration also meticulously preserves conditional text and conrefs, ensuring that content dependencies and references remain intact. Furthermore, metadata is maintained throughout the translation process, guaranteeing that critical information stays consistent and reliable across all content outputs.

XTM handles DITA cross-references seamlessly during the translation process. The system ensures that when content is translated, all internal links and references are automatically maintained and updated to reflect the correct translated targets. This means that once the translated content is returned to DITAToo, users can be confident that cross-references will accurately point to the intended sections or documents in the target language. This automation eliminates the need for manual adjustments, ensuring efficiency and preserving the integrity of the document structure.

Absolutely. You have the flexibility to translate just the specific topics you are interested in from a DITA map. This means you can choose individual topics, translate entire maps, or even a combination of both, depending on your needs. The system is designed to keep track of any dependencies, ensuring that the translated content maintains the correct relationships and context within the larger document structure. This ensures that the translated sections are accurate and cohesive with the rest of the content.

During the translation process, your DITA conditional text attributes remain intact and are preserved exactly as they were authored. This means that any specific conditions you have set up in your content will not be altered or lost. Translators working on your document will have access to the content with all conditional text clearly marked and visible. This visibility of conditions allows them to understand the different text variants that need to be translated, ensuring that every variation is accurately and correctly translated according to your original specifications.

Yes, translators have full access to your complete DITA structure while working within XTM. This means they can view the entire document architecture, allowing them to understand how individual topics fit into the larger documentation set. By having this comprehensive context, translators can ensure that their translations maintain accuracy and consistency throughout the documentation. This holistic view helps in identifying any potential discrepancies or ambiguities, ensuring that the translated content aligns well with the original intent and structure, ultimately enhancing the overall quality of the translated documentation.

After translation, when the content is re-imported into DITAToo, you can publish it in a variety of formats that DITAToo supports. These formats include widely-used ones such as PDF, HTML5, and Word documents, which are ideal for different distribution channels and purposes. Additionally, DITAToo also allows you to create custom outputs tailored to specific needs, giving you flexibility in how you present your translated content. The integration ensures that your publishing options remain fully open and are not restricted in any way.
