Translations directly within InDesign

For Italian brochures, Turkish manuals, Dutch technical documents or marketing material in Spanish, English or Czech produced using InDesign, we can use the latest technology to draw up our translations directly in the layout provided by you.

Here is how it works:

If you only need the translation and can take care of any additional graphic design yourself:

  • Export your InDesign file using the export format IDML (InDesign Markup Language)
  • Send us the IDML file and a PDF file so our translators can see how the text and graphics look
  • We translate the IDML files into the language(s) requested by you
  • You import the translation back into the InDesign file and draw up a print template that can go straight to print in the relevant foreign language
  • If requested, we can also complete a final correction of the galley proof

If you don’t want to take care of the graphics yourself and need a print template ready for print:

  • Send us the entire InDesign package (InDesign file and all documents and links associated with it)
  • We export your InDesign file using the export format IDML (InDesign Markup Language)
  • We translate the IDML files into the language(s) you request
  • Our graphics partners import the translation back into the InDesign file and draw up a print template of all translations that can go straight to print in the relevant foreign language
  • Before delivery of the translations, we will proofread the galley proofs
