+380935340152Translation layout (desktop publishing) involves formatting a document translation to closely match the original or to be as identical as possible. If the source document contains tables, graphs, diagrams, images, or other design elements (background, text arrangement, margins, fonts, etc.), they will also be present in the translated version after layout.
When is translation layout needed?
Formatting of translated text is the essential part of translator’s work as well as the actual text translation. Overlaid text lines, “jumping” paragraphs, incorrect page numbers in a table of content, ignored document format, untranslated inscriptions on the drawings – all this can spoil the impression even of the best translation.
Thus, if the original document contains drawings, stamps, footnotes, diagrams, etc., they need to be transferred into the translated text, their inscriptions should be changed into the same ones in the target language. The client usually receives finished translation in the formats .doc or .rtf.
