English term or phrase: desktop publisher
How is it used in Portuguese?
Heloisa kinder
Editor Eletrônico / Editoração Eletrônica
Explanation:
Desktop Publishing is normally translated as Editoração Eletrônica in Brazilian Portuguese. Desktop Publisher, being someone or something (software/hardware) that performs the task of doing Desktop Publishing would be translated as Editor Eletrônico. I would try to rephrase the text to use the first option listed here, since it is a much more used expression

Programa de Paginação


Explanation:
Só para melhorar o comentário do colega Rita, digo que:
DTP (Desktop Publishing) é em, português de Portugal, Programa de Paginação.
A palavra "publisher" pode ser a mesma coisa ou, então, ser o Programador do... dito Programa de Paginação... o que fica esquisito, mas enfim! Mas. talvez a minha intervenção não «des-ajude»
