Adobe Illustrator File Translation for Marketing and Print
Illustrator files power marketing collateral, packaging, infographics, and brand assets. BeTranslated translates text within AI files and applies DTP correction to ensure the translated text fits your artwork without breaking the layout or requiring a complete redesign.
Illustrator DTP Translation
Text Translation Inside Adobe Illustrator Artwork
Illustrator is a vector graphics application where text and artwork are deeply integrated. Text elements may be set in point type, area type, or type on a path. Fonts may be embedded or linked. Artboards may represent different print sizes or social media dimensions. Translating an Illustrator file without DTP skills risks broken overflow boxes, missing fonts in the target language, and type that overlaps adjacent artwork.
BeTranslated works with AI source files or exported PDF files with editable text layers. Our DTP specialists ensure that translated text elements maintain the correct visual relationship with surrounding artwork, that any required multilingual fonts are sourced and applied, and that the delivered AI file is ready for export to any output format.
What We Handle
.ai Translation: Key Capabilities
All Text Type Support
Point type, area type, and type on a path are all handled. Paragraph text boxes in Illustrator are reflowed to fit the translated text within the original type area.
Brand Consistency
Brand colours, typefaces, and visual hierarchy are maintained in the translated file. Text is adapted to fit without altering the design's core visual identity.
Multilingual Font Sourcing
CJK, Arabic, Devanagari, and other non-Latin scripts require specific fonts. We source and apply appropriate multilingual fonts for the target language.
Packaging and Label Support
Product packaging files with tight text areas, legal copy, and nutritional tables are handled with particular care for character limits and regulatory text requirements.

Common Questions
.ai Translation: Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know about translating Adobe Illustrator files.
Native AI files give the best results because text remains fully editable. If your AI file is very old or uses proprietary embedded fonts, exporting to a PDF with editable text (not flattened) is an acceptable alternative. Please do not send flattened or rasterized PDFs for Illustrator work, as text cannot be extracted from these.
Yes. Multi-artboard Illustrator files are common for social media campaigns, print ad series, and product packaging variants. All artboards are translated in a single project for consistency, with each artboard checked individually for fit and overflow.
We identify font coverage issues during the initial file review. Where a brand font does not cover the target script, we recommend a suitable alternative that matches the weight and style of the original. Font substitution suggestions are confirmed with you before work begins.
