OK, obviously, no current reader of this forum knows anything about this. To bad.

For small snippets of texts, my current method to do the translation is to save as pdf, then copy the text from the pdf and paste back into an FM-file. In mysterious ways, it is then in Unicode, and I can use regular Unicode fonts without messing with special regional fonts such as greek, CE turk etcetera! That has worked well, but it is of course not a viable method to deal with a complete (largish) structured document.
