Multilingual Desktop Publishing


Streamline your K12 translation education print projects

Translation of parent notifications, guides and forms from one language to another has substantial impact on the design, formatting and layout of those materials. For example:

  • Documents translated from English to languages such as French, Spanish, and Arabic expand in word count and require more space or a smaller font size.
  • German and Russian words can be dozens of characters long, requiring re-sizing of graphics and menu items
  • Middle Eastern languages, such as Arabic, Hebrew, and Farsi, change a document's layout because they are written right to left.
  • Character-based languages, such as Chinese, Japanese, and Korean, require specific versions of even standard publishing software installed on the native (non-U.S.) platform to generate localized documents for readers of those languages.
