DESKTOP PUBLISHING

style your documents into multiple languages.

The layout of your translated content in a foreign language is governed by its unique rules, with intercultural influences affecting both graphics and layout.

At VT Localize, we manages diverse character sets, paragraph and character formats, and text length formatting across all languages.

What is Desktop Publishing?

DTP or Desktop Publishing is the process of modifying your documents into other languages. It is the production of page designs with the computer using a special DTP software and involves translation, typesetting, and design.

DTP software can be used to create the layout for: newspapers and magazines, brochures, posters, catalogues, books and e-books, web pages, newsletter, etc.

Why is DTP important?

The Desktop Publishing Services helps your brand to get creative page layouts to impress the customers, balance the reader’s view. It also enhances the overall experience to get more sales.

The DTP Services is an effective way to save the cost of production with various tools like InDesign, Framemaker, Illustrator, Coreldraw, QuarkXpress, and Microsoft Publisher. However, it is advisable to choose professional DTP Services with the well-skilled and experienced experts who can fulfill all your requirements on time.

3 tips to know about DTP

1. Be consistent

Consistency creates trust. What does this mean?

Create a standard that specifies everything from font type and size to color to header and footer information and so on. Anytime you change the font or the color of something, the audience perceives it right away as a change in meaning. What your client sees is unprofessionalism and they miss your message.

2. Allow flexibility with images and graphics

When deciding on the graphics and images for your design layout, we recommend you stick to more universal ones rather than going extra specific. For example, you want to add people’s faces in the layout, ask yourself whether every culture will relate to them? Make sure your choices are either universal or not culturally specific.

3. Hire professional

DTP requires a specific skill set and a professional eye for design. Professional language companies have expert teams able to work around the clock.

It’s a great risk when your design team takes on a layout project in a language that they do not understand. Working with a professional that employs experts in desktop publishers is the best way to ensure that the translation you invested in is best presented to your target audiences.
