Reviewing Chunked Topics in Context
Posted: Fri Jul 21, 2017 7:31 pm
Hello,
Our Japanese translator has encountered an issue when in-country reviewers (ICRs) review chunked topics.
Our ICRs are engineers who do not have oXygen. The translator gives the ICRs bilingual review docs (Word format) exported from SDL Trados Studio for each DITA topic, as well as the webhelp or PDF output to provide context. The problem is, if the ICR is reviewing a chunked topic, there is no context. The ICR does not know where the chunked topic appears in the output, and must ask the translator to open the ditamap in oXygen in order to understand the context.
Is there an easier/faster way to know where a chunked topic appears in the output, without having to open the ditamap in oXygen? For example, is there an efficient way to generate an easy-to-read map that shows where chunked topics are located in the output?
We currently don’t have a CCMS and are looking for a workaround in the meantime.
Thanks!
Di
