Typesetting/Layout/Formatting in multiple languages.
Business around the world need to give communications in the native language of their global customers, business partners, and employees. Layout is generally the last phase of a typical translation project, and what gives it a final appearance.

Our services
- Multilingual desktop publishing and graphics localization: Our multilingual Desktop Publishing team can localize documents in any language, be they Central European, Eastern European, Cyrillic, CCJK, or right-to-left languages such as Arabic/Hebrew/Farsi. Working with great attention to detail, we understand the impact of translation on graphical layout of documents and use the very latest layout and graphics applications in the market. Output is generated in multiple formats, as per your specifications.

- File preparation/engineering: The preparation of files prior to translation is important to save the time in post-translation DTP. A correct analysis/preparation of the files, keeping in view the tools to be used for translation and the subsequent layout, can avoid many problems and consequently save time and unnecessary costs
- Book layout/Typesetting/Formatting (including co-edition layout): Typesetting is the process of setting text onto a page, arranging the book’s interior to create the best reading experience. This includes determining the size of the margins, styling the chapter starts, and picking the right font typeface and size for the content. At its core, typesetting is all about visual communication. We can design the pages from scratch, or flow the text into your existing template.
- Image manipulation/Photo Editing/Vectorization: Image manipulation/ photo editing / retouching involves transforming or altering a photograph using various methods and techniques to achieve desired results. Image tracing, raster-to-vector conversion or vectorization is the conversion of raster graphics into vector graphics. We provide these services for digital photographs, traditional photo-chemical photographs, or illustrations.
- Localization of E-learning content: We offer a comprehensive range of services for e-learning localization that includes the integration of voice and subtitles, and localization of assets like images, flash animations, quizzes etc
