Typesetting

When translating texts for catalogues, instruction manuals or any other multilingual material, the page layout is crucial.
In addition to facilitating the comprehension of the text, it also needs to present the contents with a clean look that’s easy to read.
This is a service often associated with translations and normally offered by all translation agencies.

What makes the TRW multilingual page layout service different to others?

Our graphic designers are Adobe Certified Experts (ACE), a certification held by very few operators in Italy. Their advanced technical skills allow optimised language switching within graphic files, something other professionals are simply not able to do.

All this without needing to resort to third-party professionals. Together with our programmers, we have also developed software to simplify and partially automate language switching processes: Through a plug-in between Trados (a translation management software) and the graphic program used, we create semi-paginated files which are then checked by the layout artist before being submitted to the client in a high-res PDF format.

It's basically a prepress, but in rapid time and at very convenient prices.

Formats and languages

We are able to simultaneously process:

  • more than 30 languages per layout
  • all types of fonts, including Cyrillic characters, Oriental alphabets, and typefaces with universal accents and glyphs
  • right-to-left script (for example, Arabic) with specific InDesign features specifically for Middle Eastern languages, or top-to-bottom script (for example, Japanese).

More than just a multilingual page layout

We translate and create layouts for all types of content in the desired format. We can also touch up photos, recreate images, manage CAD files and exploded drawings, and work directly on programming languages (XML or HTML).

We work with: Office Package; QuarkXPress; Adobe Indesign; Illustrator; PageMaker; Framemaker; Photoshop; Autocad; Corel Draw; Macromedia Dreamweaver; Fireworks; Freehand; and Flash.
