DTP Quality Assurance

Looking for ways to reduce your project turnaround times, production costs and the overall list of aspects to worry about when completing a multilingual documentation project? Then consider letting us make your life that much easier by supporting your multilingual document management. Before you translate or publish your next set of documents, let us check what needs to be corrected including:

• Keeping inter-punctuation and layout across all language versions consistent
• Finding and correcting all corrupted fonts
• Layering all of your requested revisions
• Correcting all unauthorized departures from your source files
• Notifying you of all irregularities in the translated content and all occurring errors

Template Services

Our template services cover layout design, layout adjustment and file conversion. We help our clients develop document templates, which while being consistent in their layout are made to be easily adaptable to new languages. With such an individualized template, you will be able to use the same document preserving its look & feel, its message and your brand identity no matter the target language.

If you already have a source language template or have very specific formatting needs, we will be able to adapt the layout, or edit your existing template to better support your style and typesetting requirements when creating different language versions of your documents.
