What is multilingual DTP typesetting? Service process and tool analysis
DTP typesetting, or desktop publishing, is a process of combining text and images with technology to design layouts, aiming to provide appropriate layouts for multilingual texts. Multilingual DTP typesetting is widely used in the design and layout of documents such as promotional materials, user manuals, product manuals, technical documents, engineering drawings, training materials and books.
Multilingual DTP typesetting service process:
1. File conversion: First, convert files in original formats such as PDF, Illustrator, InDesign, etc. into editable formats. This conversion step ensures that the document can be modified in a suitable typesetting environment to meet specific typesetting requirements.
2. Layout design: Perform careful layout design based on the characteristics and typesetting requirements of the target language. This includes not only text layout, but also the cultural background, writing habits and space requirements of each language to ensure that the content of all language versions is displayed clearly and in a standardized manner.
3. Graphics and image processing: Carefully layout and adjust the graphics and images used in the document, including optimizing image clarity, adjusting color and size, etc., to ensure that each image presents high-quality effects in the final document.
Selection of DTP typesetting tools:
There are many tools used for DTP typesetting, and common software includes Adobe InDesign, Microsoft PDF, Microsoft Office, Adobe Illustrator, Dreamweaver and CorelDraw. These software have their own advantages in word processing, graphic design and typesetting. Choosing the right tool can effectively improve the efficiency and quality of typesetting work.
Does DTP typesetting require additional charges?
If DTP typesetting is not performed, the translated document may not maintain the same format as the original. Therefore, if the customer requires the translated document to be consistent with the source file in format, the translation company usually provides additional DTP typesetting services. This service is generally provided as an additional service and is charged per page.
