As technical writers, we go to great lengths to translate technical gibberish into readable manuals. Unfortunately, no matter how fancy and sophisticated documentation we produce, it is never the customers’ goal to read the outcome of our hard work. Software users want to complete their tasks quickly and easily, preferably without consulting any external sources of information. If they encounter a problem, they look for clues in their closest vicinity, namely the window of the program they are using. It’s our job to ensure that they can find what they are looking for. Progressive disclosure is a method that helps us do that.</div>

Andrzej's Talk</h3>
<div>
<div class="MsoPlainText">
<div class="MsoPlainText">
<b>How technology influences translation project management</b><br /><b><br /></b>Corporations present on the global market have their marketing materials, product descriptions, catalogues, user manuals etc. translated with the aim of maximising sales in foreign countries. With the international markets becoming more and more important for corporations, the need of translation into even more languages is growing, bringing in consequence new challenges for translation agencies. Not only do the localization departments need to translate more content into more languages within a budget that does not grow proportionally to the effort required, but they also need to focus much more on the project-specific turnaround times as the “time-to-market“ factor for the products is often a priority.<br /><br /><br />Andrzej – the Managing Director of one the biggest translation companies in Central and Eastern Europe (LIDO-LANG Technical Translations), as well as the President of XTRF Management Systems, will present an overview of technologies used to create new content, manage translation requests within the corporation and work with translation services suppliers more efficiently. After that Andrzej will show how technology can help streamline translation project management within a translation company in order to deliver fast turnaround times of translation projects and high quality translations.</div>

<b>How German Manufacturers Create Technical Documentation with ST4 DocuManager</b><br />
<br />
To succeed on a global market, manufacturers have to be flexible, offer different variants, be present in many markets, etc. All these challenges have an impact on the way technical documentation needs to be provided.<br />
<br />
Whether it is about localization to three dozen languages, handling variants on different granularity levels, publishing efficiently to different output channels, not getting lost in XML details, etc. ST4 DocuManager offers such features as a ready-to-use solution for technical documentation.<br />
<br />

Eliot Kimber has been working with structured markup and large-scale hyperdocuments for longer than he cares to admit. He has been involved in SGML and XML standards for more than 20 years, including as co-editor of HyTime 2nd Edition, a founding member of the XML Working Group, and a founding member of the DITA Technical Committee. Eliot's career focus has been on the management and processing of complex hyperdocuments through complex development and delivery life cycles. For the last 10 years Eliot has focused on the business challenges of Publishers and the application of the DITA standard to text books, trade books, and periodicals. Eliot is founder and principal developer of the DITA for Publishers open-source project. Eliot is an independent consultant. When not implementing new DITA specializations Eliot enjoys skateboarding, Aikido, and playing Minecraft with his young daughter. Eliot lives and works in Austin, Texas.</div>

<b>Using DITA to Generate Powerpoint Slides from Learning Content</b></div>
</div>
<div class="MsoPlainText">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoPlainText">
<div class="MsoPlainText">
PowerPoint slide decks are often required for training content authored in XML. Until recently, this was difficult for many users. With the development of the Apache POI library, it is now possible to reliably generate PowerPoint documents with a minimum of implementation effort. The new Slidinator open-source project provides a general architecture for generating Powerpoint slides (and, potentially, other slide presentation formats). The DITA for Publishers project integrates the Slidinator with slide-specific map and topic specializations based on the Learning and Training vocabulary in order to produce Powerpoint slides from DITA source.</div>

<div class="MsoPlainText">
This presentation demonstrates the PPTX generation process and discusses the information and markup design challenges in authoring content to be presented as slides. It discusses various reuse options and strategies for adapting existing content to slide presentation. It also shows how the same source can be used to generate student handouts with notes, instructor handouts with instructor notes, and so on, in addition to the Powerpoint itself.</div>

<b>The Freedom to Grow: How Standards in Communication Facilitate Our Industry</b><br />
<b><br /></b></div>
<div>
</div>
<div>
Standards – either in the XML sense or simply communication best practices – help grow, accelerate and “professionalise” an industry. Would construction be without material standards for width and strengths, or certification for specific skills? How could we have transportation without standards for traffic and processes? Standards are what help ad-hoc processes become enterprise-class, and scale beyond our expectations.<br />
<br /></div>
<div>
</div>
<div>
Technical communication is in an era of rapid, disruptive and revolutionary change. The true nature of the challenge is understood by a few, and pros and cons of potential solutions by even fewer. The future therefore will require that we work together to exchange knowledge as best we can to help each other hit the many moving targets. We must do this because our old techniques and processes just can’t keep up, and no one organisation has the time or funds to re-invent every solution on their own. Standards help an organisation with little funds tackle larger challenges, and larger organisations implement profound change with reduced risk. The alternative is potentially getting left behind as the industry and community rush forward.</div>
