I found a program called LogoMedia that looks pretty good. Has anyone
had experience with that, or have any other ideas to offer?
------------------------

I don't have any experience with that program, but I've tinkered with translation programs here and there (bable fish was one of them but that was a while ago). My experience has been that these translation programs aren't very good. Your translator should be translating the docs, not just editing them. Will he be reading the English version before putting the docs through translation software? If not, you could end up with some pretty strange information that might be grammatical, but be odd or simply wrong.

I know it's not what you asked for, but it's the only two cents I had to offer. <grin />
