Professional Multilingual Desktop Publishing & DTP Services

A spectacular design can definitely characterize your business in a super crowded marketplace full of numerous industry competitors. After all, if you have spent days and days fine-tuning a document’s content and putting the final touches, of course, you wouldn’t want it to fall apart by utilizing bargain-basement design and a clumsy lame layout.

The same goes for producing content in dissimilar languages, there are more lures and hitches than you might at first suppose. In order to understand more, here are some points you need to consider when requiring multilingual DTP (desktop publishing) services:

• When translating any document or file into Spanish or Italian, you need to be aware that the number of characters will accordingly increase and elongate, requiring reformatting so that the text can fit into the design.
• For character-based languages such as Chinese, Korean, or Japanese, breaks between words are not demonstrated in the same form as they are in Latin languages. As a result, reformatting after translation is necessary in order to guarantee that the line breaks are correct.
• For languages that are read from right to left, such as Arabic or Hebrew, the whole design of the document will need to be flipped. This creates further sophistication for which an inexperienced design team may not be equipped. For instance, integrating numbers and untranslated brand names (which read left-to-right) within a right-to-left text can be problematic and challenging.
