Multilingual typesetting and layouting

Multilingual typesetting and layouting

We prepare your translation in a ready-to-print format, you can save time and money on the adaptation of the design.

During typesetting and layouting, we replace the source text in a publication with the translation(s) in such a manner that the page layout is preserved.

If you have a publication, brochure, leaflet, marketing material or infographics prepared in InDesign or Illustrator, we can translate and deliver it in the same file format, nicely designed and formatted in the target language(s). We provide flexible typesetting and layouting services based on your needs and using your existing artwork template so that the foreign language version mirrors the format of the original. The main advantages of outsourcing the typesetting and layouting work with your translation is that your designers do not have to deal with languages and foreign scripts they do not know, thus avoiding the risk of piecing together text incorrectly. The translators double-check the ready-to-print material and they carry out final corrections if necessary.

Translation of publications originally prepared in InDesign format

 When working with files created in InDesign, we offer three options for our customers:

Option 1: If we work with the PDF version of the files (we do not receive the InDesign file), we prepare the PDF for translation in MS Word, and deliver a translated MS Word file. In this case, there is a DTP fee for the file conversion, and there is no layouting and typesetting service involved.

Option 2: If we work with the InDesign file (IDML or INDD), and we deliver the translation in IDML or INDD, without formatting. This option is preferred if you have designers who can fix the formatting and the layout of the translated file. In this case, there is no additional typesetting or DTP cost. Receiving the translation in the InDesign file makes the job of the designer easier and faster, as they do not have to copy from the translated MS Word document into the InDesign document.

Option 3: If we work with the InDesign package (IDML or INDD file, links, pictures, fonts), we deliver the translation in the InDesign package and PDF, with formatting, ready-to-print. In this case we produce the typesetting and the layouting of the document, fix the formatting, and the layout of the translation will correspond to the original file. We also do a final linguistic proofreading of the typeset translated file. In this case there is an additional fee for typesetting.
