FOR TRANSLATION AGENCIES

Multilingual
DTP for
Translation Agencies

We handle DTP for translation agencies – post-translation layout, OCR, and file conversion in 50+ languages, scoped within one business day.

When translation is done, we take over: rebuilding layouts after text expansion, restoring right-to-left and CJK typography, and returning client-ready files in the original format – InDesign, Office, or PDF.

Since 2011, agencies and freelance linguists have used our team as their production back office – 1.5M+ pages delivered, with NDA-protected handling and a single point of contact.

DTP for translation agencies – posttranslation layout in 50+ languages

Why Agencies Outsource
Desktop Publishing

Every LSP hits the same wall: translation is done, the deadline is close, and the layout falls apart.
That’s why DTP outsourcing exists – it solves four problems at once.

Broken Layouts

Text expands in German, contracts in Chinese, and flips direction in Arabic. We rebuild every page to match the source design.

Inconsistent Freelancers

Ad-hoc freelancers deliver ad-hoc quality. We follow documented, script-specific rules, so file 1,000 looks as clean as file 1.

Hard Deadlines

Your client's launch date doesn't move. We scope new projects within one business day and commit to the timeline up front.

Format Variety

InDesign, Word, PowerPoint, Excel, PDF, scans – end clients send everything. One partner covers the full stack.

One Partner for
Your Entire Production Stack

Instead of juggling separate vendors for layout, recognition, and conversion, route the whole production stage through one documented pipeline. Four services, one handoff, one point of contact.

Multilingual DTP

How the
Partnership Works

STEP 1Send a
Sample Project

Share a typical file pair – source and translation – through our quote form, with target languages and deadline.

STEP 2Get Scope in
One Business Day

We reply with cost, timeline, and any technical questions – within one business day, every time.

STEP 3Receive Client-
Ready Files

We deliver final layouts plus source files, checked against the original design before handoff.

STEP 4Scale the
Pipeline

Recurring projects follow the same documented handoff, so onboarding happens once – not on every project.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do you work with translation agencies on a recurring basis?

Yes. Long-term agency partnerships are our core business model. After the first project, we document your handoff preferences and apply them to every future job – no repeated onboarding.

Which file formats do you support for DTP outsourcing?

Adobe InDesign, Illustrator, and Photoshop; Microsoft Word, PowerPoint, and Excel; editable and scanned PDFs. If your end client sends an unusual format, ask – we most likely handle it.

How do you handle right-to-left and CJK languages?

We apply script-specific typographic rules for Arabic, Hebrew, Chinese, Japanese, Korean, and other complex scripts – covering text direction, line breaking, and font substitution – then verify every page against the source layout.

How much does it cost to outsource desktop publishing?

Pricing depends on format, language count, and complexity. Volume pricing is available for larger projects – contact us for a custom quote. We scope every request within one business day.

Will you contact our end clients?

Never. We work as your production back office. You own the client relationship; we deliver the files to you, under an NDA if required.
