Catalogs and Brochures
Product catalogs, company brochures, and leaflets reformatted after translation. Text reflow, image placement, and page balance corrected for the target language's text expansion or contraction.
Multilingual DTP Services
Translated. Reformatted. Print-Ready.
Desktop publishing services for translated documents. Catalogs, brochures, packaging, and marketing materials reformatted by native-language specialists who understand your target market's typography standards.
What Is Multilingual DTP?
Translation Is Only Half the Job
When a document is translated, the text changes length, line breaks shift, and the layout breaks. French text expands 20-30% compared to English. Arabic reads right to left. Japanese characters require precise typographic handling. Multilingual DTP is the process of reformatting translated content so it looks as professional and readable in the target language as the original did in English.
BeTranslated provides end-to-end multilingual desktop publishing. Our native-language specialists work in the same design software as your agency or in-house team: InDesign, Illustrator, Photoshop, Canva, or Figma. They apply language-specific formatting rules as standard. French space-before-colon, Arabic right-to-left reflow, and Japanese character spacing are handled correctly, not as afterthoughts.

Multilingual DTP: Common Questions
For InDesign projects, send a packaged file containing the INDD, IDML, PDF preview, all linked images, and fonts. For Illustrator, send the AI file with embedded or outlined fonts. For other formats, contact us first so we can advise on the best handover method before starting.
Languages like French and Spanish typically use 20-30% more space than English for the same content. German compound words can create very long single words. We handle expansion and contraction as part of the DTP service, adjusting font sizes, line spacing, text boxes, and layout elements to maintain design integrity.
Yes. Right-to-left scripts require a full layout mirror: text boxes, navigation elements, and page flow are all adjusted. Our Arabic and Hebrew DTP specialists understand the typographic conventions and software settings required for correct RTL output in InDesign and Illustrator.
Yes. We collaborate with in-house design teams and external agencies. We can receive source files from your studio, return DTP-corrected files in the same format, and match your internal file-naming conventions. Contact us to discuss your workflow before the first project.
