Foreign language layout design and typesetting
Many translated documents are destined for printing, or for distribution in readily-printable
electronic form such as PDF. Unfortunately, it is rarely the case that a 'print-ready' document in
the source language will still be 'print-ready' once translated - text takes up different amounts of space
in different languages, a problem which few page layout programs automatically address.
Elanex will fully finalize your translated documents for your chosen distribution
medium:
- Ensuring that text is re-flowed correctly, as far as possible maintaining the page layout and
proportions of the original document.
- 'Localizing' the translated document if required:
- changing the document template or format
to match corporate standards for different countries
- resizing pages (eg from US Letter to A4)
- changing addresses and other items not considered
part of 'translation'
- Convert documents to
font-independent formats that can be printed by virtually any professional printer
- Creating electronic output documents (such as PDF) for review and/or distribution as finished product
Elanex supports all major layout editing programs (including InDesign, Quark, FrameMaker, Illustrator,
PhotoShop and others).
