Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ): Desktop Publishing Service

Here is a list of common inquiries regarding our desktop publishing service.

What types of documents can be processed with our DTP services?
Our DTP services encompass a wide range of document types, including brochures, catalogs, user manuals, reports, presentations, and web content. Whether for print or digital media, we can customize the design and layout to suit your needs.
How can translated content maintain the same meaning and layout as the original document?
Our company utilizes Computer-Assisted Translation (CAT) tools and employs glossaries to ensure linguistic consistency. DTP experts work closely with translators to edit layouts that align with the characteristics of each language while preserving the original meaning and design.
Can you handle languages that are written from right to left, such as Arabic, while maintaining the original format?
Yes, our team possesses extensive experience in working with right-to-left (RTL) languages such as Arabic. We comprehensively restructure the entire layout, including diagrams, tables, images, and other visual content, to align with the reading direction and language structure. This includes:
What measures do you take to maintain the confidentiality of sensitive documents?
We prioritize the confidentiality of our clients through stringent data security measures. All documents are handled exclusively by authorized personnel, and we sign an NDA (Non-Disclosure Agreement) upon request to ensure your sensitive information remains secure.
How long does it typically take to complete a DTP project?
The duration of a DTP project varies based on several factors, including the complexity of the design, the number of pages, and the number of languages involved. After thoroughly understanding your specific requirements, we provide a detailed timeline and continuously share progress throughout the project to ensure deadlines are met.
Is it possible to update or modify the project after work has commenced?
Regrettably, once the DTP project has commenced, content cannot be updated or modified. To maintain a smooth workflow and prevent project delays, we recommend finalizing the content before the DTP process begins.
Can you provide DTP services even if we do not use your translation services?
Certainly. Our company offers integrated translation and DTP services, but we also handle design work for documents translated by other companies. We carefully assess the translated content to ensure clarity in structure and visual alignment with brand guidelines, providing feedback or suggestions when necessary.
Is the DTP service available for free when using your translation services?
DTP services are billed separately from translation services. While we strive to ensure seamless integration between translation and DTP services, tasks such as verifying that translated content is correctly applied to the website fall under the DTP domain, thus incurring additional costs. This ensures that all aspects of the content meet high-quality standards and effectively align with specific requirements.
