Multimedia Localization

Multilingual Desktop Publishing requires linguistic experience and an extensive knowledge of file engineering, because different file formats require specific understanding of the software they were created with. At Translated we have been offering multilingual DTP services for the last 20 years, and we have trained a team of DTP experts to make sure your delivery files are ready for printing.

When is DTP necessary?

There are some cases in which you should consider to add a DTP service to your project, particularly if translation is intended for publication, to make sure that the layout matches the original file: • Translation from English into latin languages such as French and Spanish, as they tend to expand in word count and require more space or smaller font size. • Translation into or from German, Russian and Polish, as words in these languages can be very long, requiring re-sizing of graphics and menu items. • Translation into or from right-to-left languages, such as Arabic, Hebrew and Farsi, to adjust the position of text and graphics accordingly. • Translation into or from character-based languages, such as Chinese, Japanese and Korean, as they normally require specific versions of the publishing software. If you have any doubts whether you should add a DTP service, feel free to contact us, and we will be happy to find a solution for your specific needs.
