DESKTOP PUBLISHING
Desktop Publishing is a really important step in the translation process. In general, once translation has been completed, the document requires a careful design and layout adjustments. The design must look natural in the new language. As professional designers, we interpret source design and adjust it to any language, even complex Asian languages and right-to-left languages like Arabic and Hebrew. Over the years, we’ve developed a know-how on more than 200 languages and how to solve problems that might come up.
In order to achieve the best results possible, we use the latest software versions for both PC and MAC.
Software we use:
• Microsoft Office (Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Publisher, Project, Visio)
• Adobe Acrobat DC
• Adobe
InDesign
• Adobe Illustrator
• Adobe Photoshop
• Adobe FrameMaker
• Articulate Storyline
• Corel Draw
• QuarkXpress
• Autodesk AutoCAD
• SDL Trados Studio
• memoQ
PUBLISHING QUALITY ASSURANCE
After putting in hard work, you want to deliver error-free files to your clients. Even a small layout mistake can significantly impact the overall quality of a project, regardless of the translation’s accuracy.
Publishing Quality Assurance (PubQA) is the final step in the translation process, ensuring that the design is precise and error-free.
In the translation industry, Publishing Quality Assurance focuses on detecting errors in formatting, page flow, numerical accuracy, and unintended content changes.
Our Quality Assurance service is performed by a different designer, who carefully checks for errors in the following areas:
• Missing objects
• Missing translations
• Number typos
• Document part number updates
• Typography formatting
• Double spaces
• Design errors
