In this paper we discuss a study of the expression of procedural relations in multilingual user instructions, in particular the relations of Generation and Enablement. These procedural relations are defined in terms of a plan representation model, and applied in a corpus study of English, French, and Portuguese instructions. The results of our analysis indicate specific guidelines for the tactical realisation of expressions of these relations in multilingual instructional text.
