Desktop publishing

Foreign language desktop publishing (DTP)

The quality of the communication necessarily involves a graphic design phase, which often complements a translation. Although the commonest kinds of DTP work do not generally pose any problems, technical, scientific or commercial documents do require the involvement of a graphic designer using DTP software. This designer will be able to digitise a photo or a diagram, or even redesign a drawing or a sketch. Checks upon the layout of the texts are carried out by people who are familiar with the languages used, offering you extra security for your communication and allowing us to eliminate error and still keep the costs down.

We provide you with a CD which is compatible with your system (PC or Mac), along with a hard copy of your text produced using a laser printer. This means that the medium which will be sent to the printer can be processed, offering the very best value for money, once you have checked it yourself.

You can also use our FTP site (protected by secure login) to download your document. For more information, please email us at germany [at] alphatrad [dot] com or call us on 0800 101 43 63 (from abroad +49 681 996 38 25).

Our graphic designers work using the major DTP software packages available on the market such as QuarkXPress, InDesign, PageMaker, Dreamweaver, etc.
