attributes and coordinating the approval process. On the technical side,
implementing a Unicode Oracle DB in the back end and a Web based solution

The Unicode solution all the way, and using off the shelf
tools to overcome technical obstacles allowed for a workable solution.

A common glossary system was publihed on the Web to provide a single
repository of information for translators of Adobe products. The process
and technical challenges were overcome using off the shelf tools and
programmer ingenuity.
