Foreign language desktop publishing
Due to the way that desktop publishing (DTP) is performed, the quality of the work necessarily involves a graphic design phase that often complements translation. Although the most common forms of DTP work do not generally pose any problems when you rely on professional translators, technical, scientific or commercial documents do require the involvement of a graphic designer using desktop publishing software. That is why we are able to provide our clients designers who are able to digitise a photo or a diagram, or even redesign a drawing or a sketch.
Alphatrad desktop publishing services also check the layout of texts carried out by people who are familiar with the languages used. This allows for extra security for your communications and lets us eliminate error and still keep costs down.
We provide you with a CD which is compatible with your system (PC or Mac), along with a hard copy of your text produced using a laser printer. This means that the medium which will be sent to the printer can be processed, offering the very best value for money, once you have checked it yourself.
You can also use our FTP site (protected by secure login) to download your document.
Our graphic designers work using the major DTP software packages available on the market. These include InDesign, Illustrator, Freehand, QuarkXPress, PageMaker, Dreamweaver, and more.
