What does DTP Translation Entail?

0

Some translations make DTP out to be mysterious. Perhaps it is for them. Think of a document in Word format. Once it is translated, it should be delivered back in Word format, with the headings and titles formatted in the translated version just as they were in the original. And the same holds true for the appearance of footnotes, text boxes, tables and images. DTP simply expands this concept to include more elaborate and detailed formats, which are associated with programs oriented towards publishing rather than word processing. The concept remains the same, however. At a simple level, the format may be like Microsoft Publisher or Powerpoint. Other, more elaborate programs include QuarkXpress or any of the Adobe family of FrameMaker, PageMaker, Illustrator, Photoshop and Acrobat. Corel’s products in the field are Ventura and Draw. Macromedia is the author of Freehand. Sometimes a client will request the translated document to be delivered in HTML XHTML or a scripting language format.
