Make sure your project is perfectly formatted to present a professional appearance. Ensure that the presentation of your translated content is of the same high quality as the accuracy of the translation itself.

The multilingual desktop publishing and typesetting services we offer to our London and UK clients allow you to smoothly translate your document into your target language. They include not only the intelligent localisation of your document but also a consideration of how the translation process itself will alter a document’s readability, format and message.

Whether you need a product manual or packaging, user guide, e-learning content, schematics, flowcharts, CAD files, presentation slides or the latest issue of your magazine, catalogue or brochure translating, this is the service you’re looking for.

Because when it comes to readying a translated document for printing or publication, there are significant challenges to be overcome…

You won’t have any problems making sure your freshly translated document is entirely ready for immediate publication or printing.

The localisation and positioning of all elements of your document will be completed and the whole considered for cohesion and message. This means it will not only appear professional and make sense to readers from your target audience but also that it will appeal to them in the same way as your original document does.

You’ll deal with your own personal account manager based in your time zone – someone who will be intimately familiar with your particular requirements. Our in-house production and Quality Assurance teams enable us to provide cost-effective desktop publishing and typesetting services no matter where you’re based in the UK, or in the rest of the world.

Client testimonials

The main reason that typesetting and desktop publishing (DTP) play such a crucial role in the translation of any document is that any amount of text will often expand in size once it has been translated. For example, translating:

• English to French – up to 20% text expansion
• English to German – up to 35% text expansion
• Japanese to English – up to 60% text expansion

The reverse is also true. Danish or Swedish text, for instance, will often take up less space when translated into English.

For you and your project, the end result is that the layout you’ve spent so long perfecting may no longer match the requirements of the newly translated text. It’s for this reason that DTP, which involves making sure that all elements on a given page are laid out correctly, is so vital.
