Desktop Publishing / Typesetting

Desktop publishing (DTP) services are a critical element in a translation project, especially for larger scale projects. Typesetting is a process by which text is inserted into a page so as to bring it in the print-ready format. A typesetter needs to take into account several formatting-related factors such as font, margin-size, section-breaks, alignment of text and illustrations, sub-heading size, etc.

When a text is translated into another language, the formatting in the original language does not apply anymore. Languages differ from each other in various respects, e.g., in their sentence structure (syntax), word structure (morphology), sound structure (phonology) and vocabulary (lexicon). This is where Translated Right comes in to help our clients with their multilingual typesetting needs, to ensure that the final documents are print-ready error-free.

Our Typesetting Team

Translated Right has dedicated in-house teams comprised of the top desktop publishers and graphic designers who work with typesetting software daily.

Most document translations require some form of typesetting to ensure that the final product’s appearance carry the same tone and voice as the original intent of the message.

For documents with heavy graphics and a complex design layout, desktop publishing plays a vital role in ensuring that the translated text fits the original layout (eg. font size, line spacing, word spacing, typography and white space) and graphic design.

Otherwise, the final product, while translated correctly, could look unprofessional. At Translated Right, we ensure that you not only receive the highest quality translation, but also that we deliver a great reading experience in having a professionally done layout.

Furthermore, our desktop publisher specialists are able to communicate with our project managers seamlessly and in real time, exchanging ideas and feedback about any given project.
Our desktop publishers are trained in the translation process and work hand-in-hand with translators, editors and proofreaders to ensure that the final product reflects the most accurate and up-to-date version of the text.
A key element of the desktop publisher’s function is to evaluate each project visually to ensure it is acceptable from a cultural point of view. Certain graphics and color choices may be offensive in some cultures and need to be adapted to the local market. Design can also carry some grammatical implications, as certain countries use characters and punctuation differently.
