Hi Karen, 

We use translators who work in our native FrameMaker files -- I would not let them convert the files to text than back -- sounds like a make work project! 

We've even had our FrameMaker manuals translated into Swedish, Danish, & Finnish -- and the translators ended up lovin' Frame by the end of the project! 

We are working on single-sourcing our documents too, so once you get into using condition tags, this will all be lost with any conversion...(along with the formatting and cross refs, etc).
