FAQs About Multilingual DTP Services

Over the last few years, multilingual desktop publishing has become an essential tool for businesses to grow overseas. However, the process of designing itself can be extremely difficult – especially if you’re not experienced with design platforms or your desired language. Therefore, it’s essential to utilise professional multilingual DTP services to ensure the design of your documents is done right.

Here at Absolute Translations, we have twenty years of experience in the translation industry – particularly in DTP services. By utilising our multilingual DTP services, you can create precise documents in a sleek design with peace of mind. However, if you’re still not sure how professional DTP can benefit your business, our team has answers for you.

1. When Are Multilingual DTP Services Best Used?

If you’re working on a project that’s intended for international publication such as a magazine article or brochure, you should not only consider language translations but the layout too. After all, certain languages such as French and German can expand the word count on a piece, requiring sizing adjustments to the space on your design. You may also need to translate your material from being written left-to-right to the vice versa for languages such as Arabic and Hebrew.

2. How Does The Process of Multilingual DTP work?

You should start by reaching out to your translation provider with the desired files for translation. Here they will be able to assess what is required and provide you with an accurate quote for multilingual DTP services.

Once agreed on the quote, we at Absolute Translations then source a translator on our team with the exact experience and knowledge of your subject matter. This experienced translator will then take care of the text – making sure it’s accurately translated into your target language.

Following the translation, the document will be sent to our team of DTP specialists. They will apply the text from the first translator and place it into the document so that it is culturally relevant and easily read. Our team of DTP specialists are translators who are experienced in design and so they are able to work with a wide variety of files including InDesign, Adobe Illustrator and PDFs.

Once the design is complete, the translation team will give it a final check before delivering to the customer. This final step ensures that any human errors are picked up before you print the file.
