Why is it important to have a multilingual layout service?

Multilingual layout is crucial to ensure a consistent and professional visual presentation of multilingual documents.
A professional multilingual layout service, such as the one offered by Word Works, combines expertise in translation, graphic design, editing, proofreading, publishing, format, typography and editorial design to ensure quality and accuracy in every detail.
Our focus and global understanding of the service has positioned us as a necessary partner to our corporate customers for their internal documents, publications and marketing materials.

How does our DTP multilingual layout service work?

The multilingual layout process consists of several successive processes:
  1. Receipt of the original document and its preparation for processing with computer-assisted translation tools.
  2. Translation of documentation into all languages required by customers.
  1. Adjustment of the original layout for each language version: taking into account differences in text length, format, typography and other visual aspects.
  2. Proofreading after setting: this consists of comprehensive proofreading by the translator to check that everything is properly laid out and that there are no cuts or inconsistencies in the document. The design team makes the required adjustments and the document will be delivered in the desired format and editorial design, ready for publishing.

This four-step process ensures that multilingual documents are easily understandable and attractive to your target audience in all languages.

While also maintaining visual consistency, content is also localised to suit the cultural norms and conventions of each region.

Frequently Asked Questions

Any document and any format can be laid out in several languages. From a Word document to autoCAD drawings to more conventional design formats such as those included in the Adobe Creative Suite. Layout can be done from plain text, generating a design from scratch, or recreating a previous design that was already created by the customer. Whatever you need, don’t hesitate to get in touch.
Depending on the weight of the files, you can email them to us or use a large file sharing service. If you have any questions about how to do it, please get in touch with us and we’ll help you.

There’s no straight answer to this. It depends on aspects such as the length of the documents, the complexity of the languages, the format, the amount of non-editable image content and so on.

The easiest thing to do, if you have a specific need, is to get in touch with us and for us to talk. We’ll provide a quote and estimated deadline without obligation.

Yes, at Word Works, we understand the importance of the confidentiality of the documents entrusted to us by our customers. We have therefore implemented security and confidentiality measures at all stages of the multilingual layout process, from receipt of the document to final delivery. All our employees sign general confidentiality agreements and we are willing to sign additional specific confidentiality agreements with our customers if required.
The list is so extensive that it would be difficult to mention them all. At Word Works, we accept a wide range of file formats for our DTP multilingual layout service, including InDesign, QuarkXPress, Photoshop, Illustrator, PDF, Microsoft Word, PowerPoint and many more. We can also work with design files on different operating systems, such as Windows, Mac and Linux. If you have questions regarding a specific file format, get in touch with us to discuss options.
The sky is the limit. We can adapt to any language our customers need.
Our design and layout quotes usually include a round of price changes. However, depending on the complexity of the project and the customer’s requirements, it is sometimes required to add more rounds. This is fine. Of course, if the changes are necessary due to a mistake on our side, we’ll correct them for free.
Samples are usually proposed in the case of having to generate a design from scratch. In the case of editing previous layouts, we follow the guidelines set by the source language, making minimal changes and adaptations for each language to be translated. There’s no problem if a sample is required. At Word Works, we understand how important it is for our customers to be satisfied with our work and we therefore offer the possibility of providing a sample of the work before final approval. This enables our customers to check the quality of the work and ensure that their expectations are met before giving the final go-ahead.
As with any of our services, the payment process can be undertaken after receiving our invoice and according to the payment terms agreed when approving the quote.

They are two different services: plain translation is applied in plain text and does not seek a visual aspect.

Some of the advantages of multilingual layout over simple translation of a document are the following:

  1. It improves the visual presentation of the document in each language, which can increase the acceptance and understanding of the target audience.
  2. It enables the format and graphic design of the document to be adapted to the standards of each language, which can improve user experience.
  3. It ensures visual consistency in all languages, which can convey a more professional and cohesive image.
  4. It helps the editing and proofreading of language-specific errors, which can improve the final quality of the document.
  5. It contributes to the internationalisation of the brand or company, by being able to adequately present its documents in several languages and cultures.
Of course! We may suggest proofreading the translation before laying it out to ensure that the quality is adequate. Please get in touch with our Production team and they will be happy to handle your request.

  • Final quality proofreading: a project manager proofreads the entire project before handing it over to the customer.

Our team of graphic designers is also highly skilled and has years of experience in the design and layout of multilingual documents in a variety of formats and languages.
