A huge variety of systems and programs are used for creating texts. Consequently, translation and localisation jobs have to be processed and published in a multitude of different formats. By using the very latest technology, we are able to edit and translate all the most commonly used file formats directly. Our seamless workflow greatly reduces costs and processing time, and the potential for errors.

We can process the formats used in these programmes:

If you are using content management systems or editing systems that are based on XML or SGML, it is vital that the data is prepared in such a way that the translated XML files are technically error-free, and that every type of DTD (document type definition) can be taken into account. We can process data in any standard system without errors and ensure the best possible workflow. Here’s a few examples:

Tip: Different languages have different lengths. For example, a translation into French might be up to 25% longer than the same text translated into either German or English. This is why it is so important that you allow enough space in the final layout for translations when you create your source texts. The same applies to any compact format, such as screen displays, websites, control panels and user interfaces. Get in touch with our dedicated contact team if you need help modifying texts for software, websites and limited-length text fields.

We work with these translation systems:

We use these systems for working with terminology:

• We adjust the layout of translations to suit the layout of the source text, including performing DTP for these languages: Arabic, Hebrew, Urdu (right-to-left languages) and DTP for Asian languages

• Adjustment and swapping out of graphics, tables of content, indexes, cross references and extended character sets

• Implementation of special company-specific features and style guide requirements

• Checking of galley proofs in all languages

• Creation and optimisation of source documents in, for example, MS Word or Adobe InDesign, for the translation of PDF files with translation memory systems.
