Desktop publishing

Give every language room to work.

Translation changes the length and shape of a document. Multilingual DTP adapts the layout so readers can follow the finished content without broken tables, missing characters or crowded pages.

Rebuild the layout after translation

We assess manuals, brochures, reports, presentations and other designed files. Work can include text placement, styles, tables, captions, pagination and PDF export. Editable files, linked images and font information help define a reliable scope.

European and Asian typography

Asian scripts require suitable font coverage and careful line breaking. European target texts can expand beyond the source space. We review these constraints in the supplied layout and agree any necessary design adjustments.

  • Character and font coverage
  • Text overflow and line breaks
  • Tables, callouts and captions
  • Page references and final PDF appearance

Layout checks and language checks

A clean page is not proof that the words are correct. DTP checks focus on presentation; linguistic QA checks language. We recommend an agreed final-language review where a publication’s use demands it.

What to include in your brief

Send the original application format, linked assets, target languages and intended delivery formats when a secure transfer has been agreed. Scans, missing fonts and inaccessible source files may require additional preparation.
