Frenchside Translation and Interpreting Services is a reputable professional translation agency with over 10 years’ experience in providing translation and Desktop Publishing Services to satisfied clients in South Africa.
The desktop publishing (DTP) process is instrumental for improving document presentation, and is usually one of the stages in localizing documents. When translating a document into languages with unique features like Arabic or French, where the source text and translated text differ in length or are read in different directions, applying the wrong formatting for font, punctuation, or graphics affects the reading experience of the target audience, and may even be detrimental to product promotions and sales. To engage the target audience, product manuals, packaging, advertisements, promotions, and other sales marketing material should be aligned with local publishing standards, while ensuring that documents are readable, appealing, and user friendly.
