Graphic layout of translations – professional DTP for your documents

Layout and desktop publishing (DTP) – professional formatting of your translations

Our DTP specialists (desktop publishing) ensure that your translated documents retain their professional look and layout, regardless of language, format and design requirements.

From translation to finished layout

We can handle the entire process – from translation to graphic layout and preparation for print or digital publishing.
You decide whether we should manage the whole process or just the technical layout adjustments.
We always align expectations before the project starts, and we adapt to your requirements for:

• fonts, images and graphic elements
• special file formats or templates
• proofreading and final quality check.

Price for DTP work

The price for DTP work is always agreed in advance, so you have full transparency before we begin.

When design and translation need to match

Many clients want to reuse the design from the original version in new languages. We can help with that – quickly, efficiently and without loss of format. We work in programs such as Adobe InDesign, Illustrator and Photoshop, and we deliver your files back in exactly the format you need.

We work with, among other things:

• brochures and leaflets
• flyers and advertisements
• books and reports
• annual reports and catalogues
• PDFs, InDesign and Illustrator files
• web and marketing material

DTP for multilingual projects

Multilingual DTP is about adapting the layout to differences between languages and cultural expressions, so the content both looks professional and reaches the target audience correctly.

We ensure:

• correct formatting for languages with right-to-left reading direction (Arabic, Hebrew, Farsi, etc.)
• adjustment for text expansion or contraction – e.g. 25-30% longer texts in French or Spanish
• adaptation for languages with long words such as German, Polish and Russian.

DTP – more than just layout

Professional layout work is about readability and structure.
We take into account key design elements such as:

1. Font size and typography
2. Line length and line spacing
3. Use of bold, italics and contrast

Is DTP relevant for you?

If you work with brochures, annual reports, manuals or marketing materials in multiple languages, professional DTP is an investment in quality, time and credibility.
