Hallo
a customer of mine currently maintains its technical documentation (user guides, installation guides, technical papers) for his products (industrial manufacturing) by decomposing the text (images and phrases) in a number of objects, each one with translation in 13 languages (and each one versioned and with the translator's name): each manual is then the result of the composition of those phrases, some of them specific to a single product, to a range of product, to a category, to a law/regulation/standard, or generic to all products.
He currently maintains this using MS Word, having some issues with versioning.
Each document is composed by some 200-500 objects (sentences and images).
Is it possible to achieve this in Alfresco?
Thanks in advance!

Yes this is the basis of many "wcm" projects based upon alfresco.

Thank you for the fast reply.
I'm very new to Alfresco, I never used it beyond publishing already authored media (PDFs, DOCs, etc).
Where could I start from?

Could anyone please point me in any direction?
Which form should have the objects composing the tech docs? Should be they documents themselves?
I mean, I'm glad that Alfresco could do that, but actually I don't know where to start looking from.
