Request for Abbreviation files

Post by Richard Ferrell »

Do you have abbreviations for any language that you’d like to use in Lingo? Just attach those files to this thread and we can add them to our Lingo Abbreviations Bank. This will help all of our users in future translations when using MadCap Lingo.

Am guessing abbreviations would be something like this, of one language? :)

RFID - Radio Frequency Identification
US - United States
KB - Kilobyte
FedEx - Federal Express
INTERPOL - International Criminal Police Organization

From wikipedia
UN - United Nations, kokusai rengō (国際連合), kokuren (国連)
