Multilingual desktop publishing adds a new dimension to today’s translation projects. We must not only accurately translate the meaning of the text, but must also preserve the document layout.

Translation sometimes substantially alters the word count, requiring the relocation of graphics or a change in font size. Many languages are written right to left, which means changing not only the page layout but also the page order. Many Asian languages simply can’t be edited on standard versions of publishing software, requiring special versions.

Northwest Translations has a long history of successfully meeting the challenges of multilingual desktop publishing. Our translators understand not just the 36 languages we offer, and not just the technical area they are translating in, but also the publishing software they will need to use.

Northwest Translations has been providing high-quality technical document translation since 1993. In that time we have seen an evolution of the translation industry as new technology changes the way documents are created, delivered, and read. We stay current on these developments and continue to lead the field in multilingual desktop publishing.

For some companies, document translation is merely a matter of translating the text. However, the concepts are rarely ever effectively communicated with text translation alone. Technical translation provides a special challenge, as it requires translators who are both skilled linguists and experts in their technical field.

Your documents must not only look great, they must read intelligently and appropriately for the intended audience and deliver your message seamlessly. Northwest Translations has scoured the industry to find those degreed in both linguistics and various technical, medical, and legal fields to become one of the most respected technical translators in the industry.

Multilingual desktop publishing no longer has to be a source of frustration. We have the precise software needed to convert documents into all 38 of the languages we support so that they are in a format that is both professional looking and readable by search engines if published online.
