“Things were not quite as straightforward as we had thought. This was not just another translation task – it was an enormous joint project. Something we had to collaborate on! And from that moment, working with you has been a dream. And we celebrated together when it was all over. I’m convinced that we will do it again!’ – Eva, Legind

DTP – DESKTOP PUBLISHING

When you need to create great visual and graphical content, be it for digital or printed channels, you should incorporate desktop publishing into the overall language solution. DTP has to do with page layout and text style, whether the text elements are positioned correctly and whether the general setup of the page looks as intended. DTP saves you time and money, and you get your files back in the same format, ready for print or publishing. DTP helps ensure that your document in the target language corresponds exactly to the original design in the source document. A translated text can often contain more or fewer words than the source text, which can affect the text layout in the translated document. Also, the text direction and structure is not similar across all languages, which is taken into account when you choose a DTP solution. Our DTP experts use software that is specifically designed for DTP, such as Adobe, InDesign, Illustrator, Photoshop and QuarkXPress.

FINAL CHECK BY LANGUAGE SPECIALISTS

When your graphic files are sent to translation, they are most often worked on in a ‘raw’ format where the translator cannot see the final layout. We know it can be frustrating to receive a translation of a text where the format and layout no longer corresponds to that of the source text. That is why we offer to have our language specialists do a final check of the layout in your documents for you. Even after our DTP experts have worked on your texts, it is important that our language specialists carry out a final check of the text and layout. They compare the translated document to the original one and check for things such as whether the text flow, hyphenation, line breaks and general setup is OK. They also make sure that none of the text is hidden.
