Publish in every language, without rebuilding every layout

Translation is only half the job. Once the words are ready, they still have to fit the page, match your brand, and work in print and on screen. Our multilingual publishing services take your translated content and turn it into polished, publication-ready files in every language you need.

We handle the layout, typesetting, formatting and file preparation, so your Spanish brochure, Arabic manual or Japanese catalog looks like it was designed for its audience from the start.

What are multilingual publishing services?

Multilingual publishing is the process of adapting your documents, publications and marketing materials into multiple languages while keeping the design, structure and quality consistent across all of them.

It goes beyond swapping text. Languages expand and contract, scripts run in different directions, fonts need to support specific characters, and line breaking and hyphenation follow different rules. Handling those details properly is what separates a professional publication from a translated file that merely looks “off.”

Our multilingual publishing services

Multilingual desktop publishing (DTP)

We rebuild your layouts in the target language using your original design as the guide. Text reflow, image placement, tables, headers and footers are all adjusted so each version is clean and consistent.

Multilingual typesetting

Our team sets text correctly for each script and language, including right-to-left languages such as Arabic and Hebrew, and complex and Asian scripts such as Hindi, Thai, Chinese, Japanese and Korean.

Document and publication formatting

Manuals, brochures, catalogs, reports, e-learning materials, training guides, annual reports, packaging inserts and more. We work from your source files or recreate layouts when source files aren’t available.

Print-ready and digital-ready file preparation

We deliver files prepared for the way you publish: press-ready PDFs, interactive PDFs, and formats for web and e-learning use.

Image and graphic localization

Text embedded in charts, diagrams, screenshots and illustrations is translated and rebuilt, so your visuals match the language of the page.

Linguistic and visual quality checks

Native-language reviewers check each file for text overflow, broken characters, missing glyphs, hyphenation errors and layout issues before delivery.

Formats and software we work with

We work in the tools your team already uses:

• Adobe InDesign, Illustrator and Photoshop
• Adobe FrameMaker
• Microsoft Word, PowerPoint and Excel
• QuarkXPress and CorelDRAW
• PDF and scanned documents (with OCR where needed)
