Multilingual DTP and Typesetting Services

Our in-house multilingual Desktop Publishing (DTP) team handles a variety of file types, applying linguistic skill and technical precision to format your translated documents.

Multlingual DTP – formatting translations in different software packages, has been a key service offering for over 40 years. Aesthetics play an important role in the success of content, so the look of your translated materials needs to be every bit as good as the original for consistently impactful global reach. Formatting errors in translated documents can have negative effects on the impact of your product and brand, and the consequences of misinterpretation can be damaging and far-reaching. With special characters, right-to-left scripts and text expansion and contraction to take into consideration, the risk of non-specialists completing this work cannot be understated.

This is where our reliable and highly experienced in-house multilingual Desktop Publishing (DTP) services come in to their own, combining technical talent with linguistic knowledge to reproduce your documents with precision and care. By coupling this expertise with subsequent rigorous quality checks, we deliver documents with quality and style, whether a brochure, a manual, a label or a product catalogue.
