Desktop publishing on localised documents to match the original
source and to maintain target language typography and standards.
At the end of the production cycle you will receive:
» Quality assured localised files with matching formatting and
layout—simply, translated documents with the look and feel
of the original.
» Postscript, PDF files for online and print publication, with or
without bookmarks and working hypertext links.

HTML, HTML Online Help, or XML files, generated from the
translated files according to your specification.

7. DOCUMENT PREPARATION FOR
TRANSLATION
Preparing documents into a format understandable by machine
translation tools.
We use Trados S-Tagger, Story Collectors and Copyflow tools
to extract text from various DTP applications into files that can
be easily translated in Microsoft Word, Trados tools or any other
CAT tools.
This phase of preparation may also include various types of work
on the source documentation, such as content fixing and tuning
up, to ease and speed up the post-translation process.
SCREEN CAPTURE, BITMAP AND
VECTOR ART EDITING
Localisation of the source art
Screen capture—performed on the localised operating system
with the relevant software installed. Taken screen shots are
inserted into the localised documents. Bitmap and vector art
editing—illustrations are manually localised with the supplied
translation to ease and speed up the post-translation process.

8. VIDEO AND FLASH LOCALISATION
Live content, demo presentation, e-learning
Our team of professionals can handle simple as well as complex
Flash editing, localisation, testing, scripting, and sound/voice sync
to best match the localised product to the source.
Regarding video localisation we are able to record or capture
any e-learning, presentation and demo videos to maintain
functionality as well as look and feel of the source material.
This task will include capture, editing, syncing and mastering
amongst others.
We always use the newest video and flash technology and
applications.
TEMPLATE AND DOCUMENT DESIGN
Design of various types of technical documentation
If your company is looking for a new and effective single-sourcing
technical documentation solution, then this task offers the best
choice. With this solution you maintain only one document
source and get many output formats, such as printer-ready
postscript, online PDF or HTML, or compiled HTML Help
outputs.

9. DOCUMENT TYPESETTING AND
LAYOUT

un-editable document is available.
This task includes: re-working the documents into an editable
computer format, layout preparation, text recognition, graphic
scans and tune-up so that the document looks precisely the same
as the original. Such documents can be localised and processed.

highest quality and precision.
Quality Assurance has always been a part of our standard
production cycle. We are also offering it as a standalone task.

11. typical desktop publishing project workflow
ur client sends a request. Based on the information
supplied global dtp evaluates the source material and prepares
an estimate. The request is registered into our planning.
Supplied files and information are examined by a Project
Manager. We are then able to determine the time and work
scope necessary for the production and costs based on our
experience. The client issues preliminary purchase order to
confirm the work scope. Our analysis could also reveal possible
issues that would be encountered during the production. Any
possible issues are always discussed with the client.
Some projects are received at a stage before translation. Source
files need to be prepared for translators. We analyze supplied
files, check with the client what exactly needs to be localized
and prepare translation kit. Body texts, graphics, special text
fragments are all gathered together for translation.
A project in production is assigned to a Project Manager. He or
she is responsible for successful and timely execution of project
workflow, communicates with the client and assigns individual
project tasks to our staff.
Translated files are processed in DTP 1 stage. Depending on the
form of expected feedback from the client, DTP 1 stage can be
either full or draft DTP.
9

12. If the client intends to implement first language feedback into his
TM database and to send us newly translated files, we just do
draft DTP to allow translators to perform their language review.
Full DTP is moved to second stage.
Full DTP consists of application of language specifications
and DTP rules on the project documents by a DTP operator.
Language specifications can be either supplied by the client
in project instructions or general rules available. Reviewed
documents are printed to final format and compared to source
final or reference output in detail. After this format check, files
are handed over our internal QA. Files are prepared for client’s
review after internal QA.
The client proceeds with language and DTP review in one or
two rounds. All comments are implemented by a DTP operator,
the implementation is checked by independent reviewer. The
output is sent to the client for approval. Other feedback or
document updates follow similar process.
Once the files are approved for final delivery by the client and
no further changes are expected, final output is prepared and
all project files are delivered to the client. Project Manager then
reports to the client the final costs on the project and receives
final PO.
Final delivery can be followed by discussion with the client
about the project specifics to optimize the process in the future.
