During my many years of working in DTP, I have developed some working standards that enable me to maintain cohesion, precision and uniformity of my projects. Because every project is different, I always treat them individually and tailor them to the needs of the customer.
I achieve my aim of producing high quality localized publications by following specific work procedures. These are based on ISO quality standards and have been fine-tuned during my many years of working in the industry. However, I am well aware that things can crop up unexpectedly when localizing documents and have learnt to take steps to prevent unexpected occurrences.
I perform quality checks after each stage of the production cycle so that the customer receives the final “gold” files.
What Can I Do For You?
If you are a translation agency or a localization or publishing company, then you may need a reliable partner to outsource your foreign language DTP tasks to. I am familiar with the best tried and tested methods of resolving the many problems associated with software imperfections. As these tasks are my specialty, you can save yourself a lot of time and effort by entrusting them to me.
I am especially interested in establishing ongoing relationships and undertaking large-scale projects (e.g. 20 target languages with 200 pages each) for which I can set up special project teams. This allows me to develop optimum work practices and build up a fruitful collaboration with my customer which, in turn, leads to savings of both time and money.
MY SERVICES
I am a specialist in multilingual desktop publishing (DTP). I work with a vast array of languages in various document types, including user and service manuals, product catalogs and data sheets, brochures booklets, flyers, presentation folders and marketing materials… and many more.
In addition to DTP, my services include preparing files for and after translation (engineering), document reconstruction from scratch, graphic files localization (including CAD and EPS files) as well as editing PowerPoint and Flash presentations.
Multilingual Desktop Publishing
Desktop publishing (DTP) in a variety of languages is the core service that has made me what it is. I am experienced specialists who do not flinch from the challenges involved in document localization. Multilingual DTP requires a special touch and a certain level of knowledge to navigate linguistic intricacies.
My end product is localized documents that have the look and feel of the original by adhering to target language rules, typographic standards, layout consistency and – most of all – the customer’s directives.
Supported languages
I used to work with all the world’s major languages, from the relatively straightforward Western ones, through to Central European ones (some of which use the Cyrillic alphabet), and on to even more demanding languages, such as Arabic, Thai, Japanese and many more.
Document preparation is a significant stage of the localization process. When handled properly, computer-assisted translation (CAT) proceeds relatively painlessly and leaves much less work to do afterward.
I can prepare source files for your translators using any software you wish. I can also advise you on how to localize your files effectively. I can convert most formats, e.g. FrameMaker .mif, InDesign .inx/.idml, Quark .qsc, Word .doc/.docx/.rtf into Trados .ttx, etc.
It is also important to catch as many source errors as possible so as to avoid duplicating them in the target files.
CAD FILES
I have the appropriate applications to fully automate the translation of dwg files – whatever the version of AutoCAD. By exporting the text, I can work on any number of files. However, I need to properly prepare all the files, including the likely arrangement of the texts to be imported into the dwg files, to ensure that the process proceeds smoothly.
PDF RECONSTRUCTION
Document typesetting from scratchThere are plenty of situations in which there is only a PDF file or hard copy with no source files. Making any modifications to these documents, not to mention text extraction or translation, is impossible because these are ‘closed formats’. One possible solution is to recreate the document from scratch by using whatever materials are available.
This task involves, e.g. text and graphics extraction, choosing the correct fonts etc. Last, but by no means least, a decision has to be made on which platform and software best suits the document.
Apart from PDF documents, there are also cases where non-editable graphics, such as jpegs, tiffs etc. need to be localized. These usually involve employing text recognition (OCR) or rewriting the content manually.
Once the new editable copy of the document is ready, I create a PDF file from it so that you can compare it to the original and evaluate our work. The correspondence will seldom be exact due to subtle differences in graphics and/or fonts but I can make the final result even better than the original – if you wish, of course ;)
