DESKTOP PUBLISHING (DTP)

Layout, editing and retouching services (DTP)

The DTP service is the adaptation and graphic design work, the last step in a translation project. This is where we ensure that the client receives a product with the same format and visual characteristics as the original file, and is optimised for subsequent publication or printing.

Our dedicated team of professional graphic designers allows us to supply comprehensive multilingual editing, layout and retouching services (DTP).

ATTENTION TO
VISUAL,
LANGUAGE AND CULTURAL
ASPECTS

This service is included in our “turnkey” offer; in addition to translating your file, we will deliver it fully formatted and edited. DTP is a very important stage in any translation project. This is where we focus on the visual, language and cultural elements. The main benefit of hiring this service, besides adding convenience for clients, is that it includes a thorough review of the formatted document, both by the production team and by the translator who validates the final version that is ready for use.

Document accessibility

Layout and accessible documents

An accessible document can be navigated and understood with different tools, not only by looking at it. As well as translating and laying out your files, we coordinate their adaptation so that the information is easier to find, navigate and understand, including with screen readers.

What we adapt

  • Heading hierarchy and content structure.
  • Reading order and PDF tagging.
  • Alternative text for informative images.
  • Structure of tables, lists and links.
  • Language identification in every multilingual version.

We work on Word, PowerPoint and PDF files, and we prepare the layout source files for later conversion. We review the source material and define with you the adaptations included in each project.
