DITA XML structured authoring moves documentation from monolithic books to a modular content base, enabling topic reuse, efficient translation, and multichannel output.
Translation
Plan translation from the start of your documentation project: tackle it early to cut costs and delivery times, translate modular content in parallel with writing, and organize source repositories language-first.
Using branches in source management systems
