Desktop Publishing (DTP) and Graphic Design

We have the solution to your multilingual desk top publishing (DTP) and graphic design needs.

Do you need a magazine, a Manual or brochure with images in different languages? If so, you will need to maintain the documentÕs layout consistency across multiple languages.

We have the expertise and know-how to handle multilingual DTP projects in any format and in most world languages. We can create a new document from scratch or overwrite existing documents with the appropriate foreign language translation.

Our native Desktop Publishers and Typesetters know which fonts to use, where to break the lines and whether the language is written from right to left. For instance, different countries use different typographic conventions and also different fonts, and to avoid these pitfalls, we make sure that your typeset material does not look "odd" to your target audience. Otherwise, at worst, it could impair understanding and give the impression of illiteracy.

If you need to translate a PDF, a booklet, a manual or any other type of document with images or a set layout, then you will need to use DTP services. Post-translation DTP is a little like reconstructing your document.

When you deliver a document that has a formatted layout, that layout will be damaged if the translation is simply pasted back. That is because translated text expands (often sentence length increases by 30% or more). To preserve your documentÕs original layout and formatting, DTP work is required to correctly insert the translation back into your document, adjusting the layout accordingly.
