DTP Translation & Multilingual Desktop Publishing Services
Once our teams of expert language translators translate your documents, it is time to focus on its physical formatting and visual presentation. Some documents can be formatted as we translate them, others will need to be typeset for printing or publishing. Typesetting translation and desktop publishing translation takes place after the language translation process is complete, and therefore are considered separate but still essential language translation services. These services properly optimize your newly translated documents for your target audience.
- Typesetting Translation refers to the physical or digital composition of text, based specifically on the target language’s characters, sentence structure, symbols, and other literary features. Additional charges apply for typesetting.
- Desktop Publishing Translation refers to the design element of translated document presentation, specifically maintaining the original (or desired) appearance of your document in its target language. Depending upon the degree of work involved, desktop publishing services can be included in the translation cost of some projects but can incur additional costs for others.
Typesetting Translation
For example, typesetting translation is necessary for languages including Hebrew and Arabic that read from right to left—which is the opposite direction of English and most other languages. Languages like Chinese, Japanese, Thai, Korean Russian and Greek that use other characters and letters than English need to be typeset before printing or publication.
If the original document contains graphs, charts, images or other graphic media for advertising, publications, instruction manuals, labels, packaging, etc.—then the document needs typesetting to incorporate those same graphics, logos charts into the new translation. This is especially necessary for documents being translated into the above-mentioned languages
