Make Translated Documents Look
Publication-Ready
Translation changes the length, structure, and visual flow of a document. Multilingual desktop publishing ensures that translated content fits properly, displays correctly, and remains clear, polished, and ready for publication.
Art One Translations provides multilingual desktop publishing services for translated reports, manuals, brochures, labels, training materials, presentations, graphics, and other formatted documents.
Print and Digital Layout Design
Multilingual desktop publishing manages the layout and formatting of translated documents so they remain clear, readable, and professionally presented.
Translation often changes text length, line breaks, page flow, tables, captions, charts, and graphics. Our DTP process helps ensure translated documents fit properly in the final layout while preserving the structure, visual hierarchy, and usability of the original file.
We support multilingual formatting for reports, technical documents, brochures, labels, presentations, training materials, forms, and other publication-ready documents.
Files and Design Tools We Support
We work with a range of formatted and design-based files used in multilingual translation projects, including documents prepared in Adobe InDesign, Illustrator, FrameMaker, QuarkXPress, Microsoft Word, and PowerPoint, as well as PDF-based workflows.
Whenever possible, we recommend working from editable source files. If only a final PDF, a scanned document, or an image-based file is available, we can review it and advise on whether text extraction, layout recreation, or a simplified formatting workflow is the best option.

Formatting for Complex Scripts and Multilingual Layouts
Some languages require more than simple text replacement. Multilingual desktop publishing must account for text expansion, script direction, font compatibility, line breaks, punctuation, spacing, and how the translated content fits within the original design.
For right-to-left languages such as Arabic, Hebrew, or Farsi, layouts may require adjusted alignment, reading order, tables, page flow, and visual hierarchy. For Chinese, Japanese, Korean, Hindi, Cyrillic, and other scripts, font selection, character spacing, line breaks, and formatting checks are essential to maintain readability.
Our DTP process helps ensure translated documents remain clear, properly formatted, and visually consistent across languages, whether the final file is a brochure, report, manual, presentation, label, form, or publication-ready PDF.
Design Support for eLearning Content
Professional formatting is especially important for eLearning localization, where translated content may affect slides, PDFs, interactive modules, captions, graphics, screenshots, and learner-facing materials.
Our multilingual DTP support helps keep localized training materials visually clear, properly structured, and consistent with the original course design. This helps learners navigate the content more easily and supports a better multilingual learning experience.
For full course localization, we can also support eLearning translation, subtitles, voiceover scripts, transcripts, and LMS-ready content.
Extracting and Adapting Images and Non-Editable Files
Some translation projects include graphics, charts, tables, screenshots, labels, or image-based files where the text is not editable. In these cases, multilingual desktop publishing can help extract, recreate, or adapt the visible text for translation.
Depending on the file quality and project requirements, we can either translate extracted text only or recreate selected visuals so the translated version is easier to review, publish, or reuse.
This is especially useful when source files are not available, but the translated content still needs to remain clear, accurate, and professionally formatted.
