Here you can find the answers for the most commons questions about Localization
Desktop publishing is the creation or edition of documents by handling and adjusting page layout and design. With the use of specialized software it is possible to create new, eye-catching layouts and produce target texts and images with very high typographic quality comparable to traditional printed files. DTP allows publishers to view and revise their content in a digital version before printing or delivering them for a digital-savvy target audience.
File preparation is the process of exporting/extracting text content from a file to enable its translation. For example, if a source file is in a non-editable file format (like PDF), the text must be extracted and saved to an editable document so that CAT tools can process that content. The same process applies to images, graphics, animations, illustrations, scanned PDF, etc.
Yes, any recognizable text, whether editable or not, may be translated. That includes software, labels, magazines, technical manuals, among many other content. LocWay offer DTP for ALL font family available in the market.
