Typeset

German translation: (typografisch) formatiert

15:23 Jun 15, 2001
English to German translations [Non-PRO]
Tech/Engineering
English term or phrase: Typeset
Typeset (a typeset file, a typeset version…)
I found "setzen" in the dictionary, but I think this can't be it in informatics. I translated it with "Layout"-something but I'm not quite sure this is correct.

German translation:(typografisch) formatiert
Explanation:
"Formatiert" fits as a general expression.
"Typografisch formatiert" (Mats' proposal) is very exact.
"Gesetzt" IS possible, as many typographers use computers. It's a traditional translation of "typeset".
"Layout-Satz" means the text is aligned to a given shape, form etc. Alternatives: "mit Layout versehen", "Layout orientierter Text", "Layout gebundener Text"
