5. Resist the urge to make non-technical or cosmetic changes between documentation versions

Modifications to the original text often prevent the translation memory's search engine from making exact matches, resulting in increased costs and time due to translation updates. Save your cosmetic updates to documents when you move to a new authoring system, or when you have major changes needed in them.

6. If possible, use US letter or A4 page formats (as opposed to smaller page formats) for online manuals

A4 and US letter format printers are inexpensive and widely available to users, so be sure to release any PDF or online manuals in either of these formats. Others may make it harder for users to print.

Furthermore, using A4 or US letter rather than more common smaller page formats reduces the number of pages to layout. You will minimize desktop publishing costs, which is a large percentage of the total localization cost
