Multilingual desktop publishing is the process of formatting and typesetting localised text matching the original layout of a publication and complying with foreign language typographic standards.
Multilingual typesetting
Using the latest desktop publishing software, we offer a fast and accurate foreign language typesetting service, enabling you to publish your translated documents, keeping your artwork consistent across the languages you publish in.We typeset a huge range of document types, from advertising literature and brochures to technical user guides and manuals. We also do this in any language, including double-byte Asian languages, Eastern European languages and bi-directional languages, such as Arabic and Hebrew.
Multilingual DTP solutions
Working on both Windows and Macintosh platforms, we can provide the best solution for your multilingual DTP needs. We work with a range of different DTP software and can output your layouts in QuarkXpress®, Adobe InDesign®, PhotoShop® and Illustrator® formats. We can also optimise PDFs for print or for the web, as required.
Case study: Looking good in any language
A client working in the mining industry asked us to translate and typeset their conference materials for a safety awareness campaign they were running in South America.
Our brief was to typeset the translated text in the client’s InDesign layouts, applying typographical standards to the localised text and ensuring it filled the space available without being squashed or too spaced out.
The outcome was a full set of conference materials the client could distribute among their delegates, confident in the knowledge that the foreign language versions were faithful to the design and branding of the organisation and retained the professional image of the original documents.
