Automatic OCR of the document and minimal manual editing. Suitable for very simple living documents. Steps we take:

• OCR.
• Our specialist will remove odd section breaks after each page—the result of automatic OCR—and set up headers and footers.
• The specialist will check the document for broken sentences and remove anything out of place, which will improve the quality of the translation.
• Then we will check the document for odd tags in the text and remove them.

We are confident in the quality of our layout, so we can guarantee a fast and high-quality result.

Someone else's layout means surprises in unexpected places. Our specialists can figure out any layout, but it will take time.

Steps we take:

• The text is copied from the document into a bilingual table.
• If it is non-editable, then we will proofread it for odd characters.
• If there are paragraphs in the document that feature bold, italicized, or underlined text, it will be saved so the formatter could know which word should be highlighted in the translation.
• The text from each page will be placed in the table twice: the left column has the ‘Hidden’ property, which hides it from CAT tools but allows you to see both versions of the text (source and translation) after translation.

Please remember to specify the format you need and the purpose (web or print). The layout settings will depend on this (for example, CMYC or RGB, graphics 300 DPI or 72 DPI, etc.).

We update old layouts for higher speed, cost reduction, and simpler jobs.
PUB <-> INDD, QXP <-> INDD, FRAME <-> INDD etc.

If you are confident in the quality of your layout, our specialist will fix differences in text volumes and formatting consistency. No edits included.

We prepare layouts for high-quality multilingual translation.

We fix the document after translation (differences in text volumes and consistency of formatting and typography). We also prepare a printed/screen version of the document.

Our specialists add comments (format and linguistic comments to complex layouts).

Technical/format, character-by-character, proofing (typography, design, compliance with the customer’s specifications).

Our team will take full responsibility for formatting the document. You will only need to translate it and make edits.

Please note that these are complex programs, and working with them usually takes more than 1 day.

The price depends on the size of the drawing. Usually, the drawings are about one meter by one meter or so. Please note that MO Word has limitations on the size of sheets and the drawings will lose quality, so our recommendation is to place the drawings in the IDML layout and translate it without losing quality.

We know what you need to stick to the tight deadlines of your favorite clients. We’ve got you.
