    Hello,

    Well I should do a Google Search instead of posting here. I will as well.
    But as you are all web professionals, you might have some tools already.

    I have to create web sites in many languages. I build the site in XHTML and CSS and then after it is purely boring copy and paste to change the content for the others languages.
    The text for the translations is in a Word Document so I need a way to put it in XML format, then with XSLT I have to change the XML to XHTML (if require).
    That would save me so much time!! Building a page yep is cool :) Copy and paste is SO boring :'(

    Any ideas and suggestions?

    Cheers,

    Alixe

    I've read once article on that subject.
    As far as I remember you can use open office to convert it to XML.. like this:
    1. From command line invoke conversion of .doc document to .odt using open office binary
    2. .odt is XML so you just can parse it with XSLT or other means to get desired informatin.
