Workflow & Process
Our Desktop Publishing (DTP) workflow is carefully structured to ensure seamless collaboration between translators and designers. This standardized process guarantees that your translated content is presented accurately and professionally, regardless of language or format.
Initial Consultation and Project Scoping
We start by understanding your specific needs, including target languages, intended formats, and design preferences. This allows us to scope out the project accurately and plan an efficient workflow.
Content Translation and Localization
Our expert translators and localization specialists work on the source content to adapt it to the target audience, ensuring linguistic accuracy and cultural relevance.
Design Layout Planning
Our DTP designers draft a preliminary layout that incorporates translated content, adjusting the design elements according to language direction (LTR or RTL) and space requirements unique to each language.
Collaboration Between Translators and Designers
Translators review the initial layout to verify that all translated content is correctly placed and formatted. Our designers then refine the layout based on this feedback, ensuring that all text fits the design perfectly while maintaining consistency across languages.
Quality Assurance Check
Before finalizing the document, our QA team meticulously checks for linguistic errors, formatting inconsistencies, and cultural appropriateness to ensure a polished and accurate final product.
Client Review and Final Adjustments
We provide you with a draft for review and feedback. Any requested changes are implemented swiftly, and the final document is then optimized for print or digital publication.
Delivery and Support
The finished project is delivered in the desired format, ready for immediate use. We also offer ongoing support for any post-delivery adjustments or additional design needs.

Yes, our team is highly experienced in working with right-to-left (RTL) languages like Arabic. We ensure that the entire layout, including diagrams, tables, images, and other visual content, is comprehensively reorganized to align with the reading direction and language structure. This includes:
- Text Alignment: All text blocks, headings, and paragraphs are adjusted to read from right to left, while ensuring logical flow and consistency.

The duration of a DTP project depends on several factors, such as the complexity of the design, the number of pages, and the number of languages involved. After understanding your specific requirements, we provide a detailed timeline and keep you informed of progress throughout the project to ensure deadlines are met.

We’ll carefully assess the translated content to ensure it is accurately formatted and visually consistent with your brand guidelines, providing feedback or suggestions where necessary.
No, our DTP services are billed separately from our translation services. While we strive to ensure seamless integration between translation and DTP, tasks such as verifying the correct application of translated content on websites fall under the domain of DTP and thus incur a charge.
