When working with RTL languages like Arabic or Hebrew, we apply complete layout mirroring. For character-based languages such as Chinese, Japanese or Korean, we fine-tune character spacing, line height and style hierarchy according to target-market standards.

Multilingual DTP (desktop publishing) is the process of formatting translated content so it visually matches the original while staying language-accurate. It involves layout, fonts, design and linguistic coordination.
Without DTP, translated content can look cluttered or unreadable. Professional layout ensures that text, tables and images remain clear and visually aligned in any language.
We support a wide range of formats including .doc, .xls, .ppt, .xml, .pdf, .indd, .eps, .ai, .jpg, .tif and many others. Final output is delivered press-ready or digitally optimized.
No problem. We reconstruct non-editable content—like scanned PDFs—translate it and return it in a fully editable format with correct layout.
Yes. We’re experienced with complex scripts including RTL (right-to-left) and character-based languages, with full typographic compliance.
DTP is the final step after localization. It adapts translated content into the original layout, preserving both design and language integrity across formats.

1. Input analysis
We review file types, language combinations, format requirements and end use. Technical readiness is verified up front.

We place the translation into the original layout, adapting text flow, tables, images and formatting to suit the target language.
4. Linguistic and visual QA
Our team checks both content and layout to catch overflow, misplaced elements or typographic inconsistencies.
