Multilingual Desktop Publishing (DTP) — what it is and why it is important for your translation & localization business
Desktop publishing (DTP) is the process of preparing a document for online publishing, taking into account formatting, typography and images. Multilingual desktop publishing is especially useful when your documents are going to be read and re-purposed in different languages. Accurate text translation has limited success with international audiences, if the content is not professionally formatted and adapted for different cultures.
Poorly executed formatting may result in readers encountering junk or corrupted characters, overflowing text boxes, misaligned text elements, non-localized images, and other issues, ultimately resulting in unsatisfactory user experience.
Multilingual DTP is the final step in the entire translation and localization process and is needed to make your materials ready for global distribution. If you choose to translate your content without properly localizing it with multilingual DTP services, chances are your readers may not have the best possible user experience.
When should I use Multilingual DTP Services
As a general guideline, DTP should be employed whenever the visual presentation and style of the translated document are crucial for its effectiveness. This encompasses various materials such as technical manuals, advertisements, brochures, and presentations. If you’re uncertain about the necessity of DTP for your document, consult your language vendor for guidance.
