What are Desktop Publishing Services?

A wide variety of documents—such as operations manuals, instruction booklets, pamphlets, advertising materials, etc.—make use of graphic elements to enhance or supplement their meaning and quality. In cases where these documents must be translated, the graphics and designs are often displaced by changes in layout, such as adjustments to an increased or decreased word count, a situation that results in the necessity to re-design the document. These adjustments can be made using desktop publishing tools and procedures, such as graphic design, scanning and uploading artwork from a physical source, re-imagining the layout of text and graphics in a document using specialized software, and the creation of a polished hard copy for further use.

Working with desktop publishing services allows translation firms to create customized documents that are hand-tailored to meet their client’s design needs. Because of the nature of the design tools involved, a client with a DTP project should expect to receive the final translation in a convenient file format, such as Postscript or PDF, as well as a hard copy, if necessary. Companies with documents that contain graphic elements can use desktop publishing services to add a professional finish to their translated materials.
