MadCap Flare Localization and Publishing
Opticentre is a specialist provider of MadCap Flare localization services for technical documentation teams and language service providers. We handle the full lifecycle from source file preparation through multilingual publishing, delivering production-ready output in HTML5, PDF, and other Flare-supported formats.
What We Handle
- Flare project localization — translation-ready file extraction, TM leverage, and target language project assembly
- Multilingual builds — conditional tags, language skins, TOC and index localization across all target languages
- Stylesheet and layout adaptation — RTL support, CJK typography, and responsive HTML5 output tuning
- Snippet and variable management — maintaining reusable content across localized projects without duplication
- Source cleanup and preflight — resolving broken links, orphan topics, and build errors before localization begins
Why Teams Choose Us
We work directly with MadCap Flare project files — not exports or workarounds. Our DTP engineers understand Flare's architecture: conditions, targets, variables, snippets, and cross-references. This means fewer round-trips, cleaner builds, and faster turnaround.
Whether you are a documentation team localizing into 5 languages or an LSP managing a 30-language Flare project for an enterprise client, we scale to match your workflow and deadlines.
