Multilingual DTP
Post-translation typesetting — in any language and format.
We typeset translated files in 50+ languages: technical manuals, medical documentation, catalogues, packaging and marketing materials. You get publication-ready files, checked against the source.
What happens after translation
Translated text comes back with a broken layout: overset text in frames and tables, text running over images, cross-references out of place. On top of that come changes in reading direction and writing system — and, with Indic or Burmese scripts, fonts the original design never accounted for.
That is where we come in. We select fonts for the target language, set line breaking and spacing according to its rules, adjust frames and tables, and make sure the language version looks the way the original designer intended.
Languages and writing systems
We work with every group of languages and writing systems — from Latin and Cyrillic, through right-to-left scripts and CJK, to complex scripts such as Indic, Burmese and Georgian. We know how they behave in layout and we have the fonts that support them.
Got a language nobody wants to typeset? Send us a sample — the test job is free.
Formats
We work in the software your files came from, and in the software you want them moved to: InDesign, FrameMaker (structured included), Illustrator, Photoshop, the Office suite with Publisher and Visio, QuarkXPress, CorelDRAW, AutoCAD. Your format not listed? Write to us — we will review it and come back with a proposal.
What you get
Files ready for publication: for print, for screen, or for the next stage of your process. Fully editable, with structure, styles and links intact — so the next update does not mean typesetting everything from scratch. We also produce digital publications in EPUB.
Before delivery we check every file against the source: completeness of text, layout, numbering, cross-references, image quality, compliance with your instructions.
How we work
Scope and deadline are agreed before we start. The same standard applies to one document and to a hundred — what changes is how we run the work: at high volumes we move repetitive steps into scripts and tools we build ourselves.
We reply within 24 hours on working days.
