Multilingual typesetting |
The release of a product into the global market often requires the localization of accompanying documents, such as user guides and help. The localization process typically extends beyond just the translation of the text; it often includes complete adaptation of materials to the local market. This includes adapting graphics, tables/charts, and the creation of screenshots which illustrate the program functions in the resulting, translated language. This process frequently results in a substantial difference in the volume of material between the original and translated languages. In order to mitigate the effects of this discrepancy, it is necessary to adjust multilingual DTP accordingly.
Logrus offers a comprehensive set of services in localization, typesetting, and document design:
- Translation, including editing by a native speaker of the language
- Localization of graphics
- Multilingual DTP
- Prepress and printing preparation
- Replication*

Resources and Productivity
Our DTP team's output averages around 700–1000 pages per day (3500–5000 pages a week.) This figure is dependent on layout complexity, the current workload of the team as well as other factors. Despite this variability, we always provide an accurate performance estimate and plan projects collaboratively with our clients.
Quality Assurance
Several teams are involved in the process, the composition of which varies from project to project. If the project involves translation, all documents are further proofread by native speakers. Quality control is carried out by a specific team and the DTP department performs control checks of finished materials in accordance to special requirements.
