hi,

something our translation vendor discovered.

since may have major ramifications fm users alot of translations, choose post bug report here too. more problems in cjk, russian , eastern european languages , less in western european languages.

concise problem statement:

opening edited (translated) mif files in framemaker 8 causes of extended characters disappear. text containing extended characters different languages missing characters in framemaker, although characters present in mif file. missing characters follow no particular pattern, of time characters there. (if need more example texts in other languages try on, please contact me.)

2. save file mif (version eight).
3. open saved mif file in text unicode-enabled editor.
4. replace <string `some text'> <string `ce produit est protégé par des brevets, des brevets de conception, des brevets en instance ou des brevets de conception en instance. veuillez consulter la liste complète dans le manuel de référence sur cd-rom.'>
