Foreign-language typesetting in multilingual communications

Successful multilingual communication involves more than just translating a text. For each language, specific rules, accents, reading directions and cultural conventions must be taken into account, as these have a direct impact on layout, design and structure.

Foreign-language typesetting in DTP ensures that these differences are taken into account and that content in each target language is not only understandable but also visually and functionally compelling.

This is how we carry out your DTP project:

1. Analysis and processing of source data

We check file formats, prepare source texts, graphics and layouts for the translation process, and convert closed formats such as PDFs or scans into editable files.

2. Translation and seamless integration into the translation workflow

Our translators professionally localise your content, and we at oneword integrate it directly into our systems – ensuring a seamless process without disrupting workflows or the need for manual intermediate steps.

3. Adaptation of layout and typesetting

We adapt layouts, typefaces, hyphenation and text lengths to suit specific countries, and take into account special requirements such as right-to-left languages.

4. Adaptation to your corporate design

We will format your content according to your preferred layout, whilst consistently adhering to your corporate design specifications and visual guidelines

5. Quality assurance and editing

Our DTP and language experts check all content, making sure that everything is checked by two people, and ensure that both the layout and the target language meet the highest quality standards.

6. Finalisation and handover

We incorporate all corrections, carry out the final check and deliver your documents to you in the file format of your choice and in a print-ready layout.
