We make desktop publishing ...
... of your medical translation very straightforward
The layout of a specialized translation presents many challenges. Linguistic idiosyncrasies and country-specific special characters or scripts can quickly disrupt the original page layout. Graphics, headings, and the word-image ratio may also have shifted after translation.
As good as the original
Our desktop publishing experts have specialized in multilingual layout projects since 1998. We support all commonly used layout programs (DTP programs) and image formats. We offer this service in all languages and can provide you with extensive support in this regard. As a language service provider specializing in medical and pharmaceutical texts, we will ensure that the final translated document looks just as good as your original.
A personal consultation is the first step in translating your medical and pharmaceutical texts. Together, we tailor the translation process to your individual needs. We analyze your data and create a specific quote for your translation.
You will discuss the project details, file formats, terminology, and review loops with your personal contact partner.
At your request, we adapt the layout of your documents to the specific linguistic and cultural requirements of the various foreign languages. For foreign-language typesetting, we have true DTP experts well versed with all languages, fonts and layouts. We can format your medical translations in all languages and DTP formats.
Good data preparation is the foundation of an efficient translation process. This is why we optimize your data for use in CAT systems before the translation starts.
This ensures that:
- Unnecessary and incorrect segmentation is avoided
- Redundant internal tags are reduced
- Text in graphics can be translated
- Graphics are linked in a meaningful way
- The structure of tables is preserved
We return your medical translations to their original format and adapt the formatting with consideration for language-specific features.
- Compensating for language expansion
- Generating lists with consideration for language-specific sorting sequences
- Reflecting the layout for RTL languages, such as Arabic and Hebrew
- Quality control and creation of PDF files for your review
- Incorporating translator/customer corrections
- Reproduction services ranging from small volume digital printing to large volume offset printing
We can work with all common file formats, e.g., .doc, .xlsx .ppt, .xml (and many more), as well as programs such as InDesign, FrameMaker, CorelDRAW, Illustrator, Photoshop, etc. Before we begin your medical translation, we convert your texts and reset them, if necessary.
Our native-speaker translators check their own work carefully and conscientiously before they submit their translations to our project managers. On request, we will gladly have your texts reviewed by another specialized translator.
Our DTP experts will finalize your documents and create customized print templates, such as print-ready PDFs and digital layouts.
We will coordinate all required correction phases up to the final approval of your specialized translation with you, your graphics agency, and/or the respective national branch offices.
