What is desktop publishing (DTP)?
Imagine you have a super cool document with awesome graphics and design. Now, let's say you want that same awesomeness in different languages. That's where Multilingual DTP comes in!
Different languages have their own style – how letters and special marks appear. And guess what? Some languages are chatterboxes and make the text longer. For example, when English turns into a Romance language, like Spanish or French, it can get up to 30% longer! On the other hand, some languages prefer to keep it short, reducing the text by about 20%.
Now, think about your website. You don't want it to look all squished because of those talkative words, especially in places like menus where space is tight. And your chosen font should be able to handle all these different characters without going crazy.
So, Multilingual DTP is like your language makeover artist. It ensures your documents not only say the right things but also look totally awesome in different languages. Because communication isn't just about words, it's about looking good too!

What takes center stage in our
multilingual desktop publishing (DTP) approach?
When you're working on translating and making your app user-friendly for different languages, there are some important things to remember. To give you an idea, here are a few key points to keep in mind:
Language length & font size
Word expansion during translation can cause the text length to increase by up to 30% compared to the source text.
Directionality
Languages that read from right to left, such as Hebrew and Arabic, often need adjustments to page layouts.
Technology tools
We leverage specialized DTP software to streamline the process and maintain design integrity. These tools help manage layout, fonts, and graphics efficiently across languages.
Images & colors
We're attentive to cultural considerations, such as ensuring images, colors, and design choices are appropriate and resonate positively within the target culture.
Line spacing
Line spacing needs to be taken into account for languages like Japanese and Korean, as they generally require less vertical space compared to languages that use Latin characters.
Punctuation & orthography
Different languages have different rules for punctuation and capitalization. For instance, we make sure that the non-breaking space is used in French, so your question mark won't end up alone.
