I would really appreciate if someone has got a simple approach to the following problem: 

To prepare a document for multiple languages, with each language in a separate layer, I would like to copy text frames from one layer to another. However, since the "copy" command in apple script is the equivalent to "set" the following line does obviously not work: 

move text frames to layer "Layer 1" 

But I'm not sure which would be the easiest approach to get the result I'm looking for. These are the options I am considering: 

* select each text frame and paste in a new layer, but then the problem is can't find out how to paste in place and how to paste into a specific layer

* duplicate each text frame and change the properties to the new layer and set the bounding box to the values of the original frame.

Does anyone know of a simpler approach? 

TIA 

/ Richard
