When to Ask for DTP
Whenever you intend to publish your translation, you need to make sure that the translation is a mirror-image of the original. For example:
- Translation from English into Arabic, Farsi or Hebrew usually results in two major challenges: They must change the direction of the paragraph to Right-to-left. Also, the font must be bigger than that of the original. Only a DTP service can take good care of that.
- Translation from English to Russian, Polish or German includes very long words and hence they potentially require resizing of menu items or illustrations.
- Translation from English to Asian languages, such as Japanese, Chinese or Korean pose their own character-based challenges are DTP software requirements.
- Translation from English to other European languages usually ends up in more word count and accordingly requires more space or smaller font.
Please do not hesitate to Contact us if you are in doubt whether to use DTP or not.
