Our Multilingual DTP Services
Multilingual DTP is not just about translating words; it is about re-engineering the visual layout to accommodate different scripts, reading directions, and cultural aesthetics. Below is a categorized list of services that our professional Multilingual DTP offers.
Core Multilingual DTP services
Layout adaptation & reflowing (typesetting across languages) — recreate and adjust original layouts so translated text fits naturally while preserving brand look (InDesign, QuarkXPress, FrameMaker, Word, Illustrator, PowerPoint).
Typesetting for complex scripts — correct line breaking, justification, kerning, shaping for scripts like Arabic, Hebrew (RTL), Indic scripts (Devanagari, Bengali, Tamil…), and CJK (Chinese/Japanese/Korean).
Right-to-left (RTL) and bidirectional support — full support for RTL layout switches, mirrored artwork, RTL paragraph/character styles and tab/TOC fixes.
Font sourcing, embedding & licensing — find compatible fonts for every target language, test glyph coverage, provide licensed fonts or suggest fallbacks.
Graphic localization / artwork adaptation — edit graphics, captions, callouts, charts and images so text fits and cultural elements are correct.
Pre-translation & file-prep services
Source file extraction & engineering — extract strings from InDesign, FrameMaker, XML, XLIFF, HTML, PowerPoint, software resource files for translators and return reintegrated files.
OCR and image text extraction — convert scanned pages or images with embedded text to editable text for translation and DTP.
Clean-up & conversion (file normalization) — fix broken line breaks, remove manual line wraps, convert layout files to translation-friendly formats (IDML, XML, XLIFF).
Post-translation DTP & production
Final layout & pagination — relayout translated content, check widows/orphans, hyphenation, paragraph styles, and produce paginated files ready for print or web.
Prepress & print-ready output — color management, CMYK separation, bleeds, trim marks, trapping, Pantone conversion, and creation of print-ready PDFs (PDF/X).
eBook & digital formats — create/validate EPUB, MOBI, KF8, fixed-layout EPUB, accessible/tagged PDFs and responsive HTML pages.
Linguistic quality & localization QA
Linguistic proofreading & in-layout review — native linguists review the text in its final layout (not just raw text) for truncation, bad breaks, punctuation, and context.
Terminology & glossary management — create and apply glossaries and style guides to ensure consistent translations and on-brand terminology.
Layout QA (visual QA) — check layout fidelity, missing characters, font fallbacks, image clarity, alignment and page flow across languages.

Our Process
We follow a proven, quality-driven workflow to ensure accuracy, consistency, and on-time delivery for every multilingual DTP project.
Process: Upload → Quote → Pre-translation prep → Translation → DTP & In-layout QA → Final Delivery
1. Upload Files — Clients share source files in formats such as InDesign, FrameMaker, Illustrator, Word, PowerPoint, PDF, or structured files like XML/XLIFF.
2. Evaluation & Quote — Our team reviews layouts, languages, complexity (RTL/complex scripts), graphics, and delivery requirements, then shares a clear scope and pricing.
3. Pre-Translation Preparation — Files are cleaned, styles normalized, text extracted, and layouts optimized to ensure smooth translation and reintegration.
4. Translation (Client or Partner-Provided) — Translated content is received from the client or coordinated with approved translation workflows, glossaries, and style guides.
5. Multilingual Typesetting & In-Layout QA — Translated text is placed into layouts with careful reflow, font handling, and formatting, followed by visual and linguistic QA inside the layout.
6. Final Delivery — Clients receive print-ready or digital-ready files, including editable source files and final PDFs, fully checked and production-ready.
