DTP Translation

If you need your translated content to look and feel exactly as the original, the best option for you may be our Desktop Publishing Translation. 

Desktop Publishing (DTP) translation adapts all the visual elements on the document to multiple languages, by replacing the source text with the accurate translation in such a way that the layout of the publications is preserved. 

We can handle a wide variety of source files, websites and software code, to provide multilingual desktop publishing, formatting and typesetting.

Supported Formats & Documents

We work with all major design platforms, like Adobe PageMaker, InDesign, Photoshop, QuarkXpress, as well as most word-processing formats.

 

Furthermore, we also work with EPS files, PDF files, JPEG files or even vector graphics files to make your copy ready to use in print, web and mobile formats.

 

We can manage different kinds of products like:

Why DTP

No matter how good a translation is, when you need to maintain the visual elements to communicate the right message, the translation alone may not be the best solution. 

Copy-pasting the translated content is not only time-consuming but also your designers might not be aware of the conventions of the target language, leading to confusions and mistakes, preventing you from delivering the intended message.
