Typesetting and Graphic Services

Typesetting is the final stage in crafting a client’s marketing message for international audiences. TransPerfect’s Multilingual Typesetting services allow clients to transmit their message in languages as diverse as Arabic, Korean or Tagalog without losing the impact of the original material.

Arabic text, for example, is never hyphenated: it should be expanded or contracted to fit the graphic space. German text may be hyphenated, but there are specific rules for where breaks should occur. Spanish text is likely to expand by up to 25% when compared to the English original. Our experts also know how to adapt Japanese characters to fit a caption box originally created for English text.

In short, TransPerfect can work with your layout to accommodate text expansion and contraction, while respecting vital grammatical nuances, making it look as if your file were originally typeset in the target language. Our resources are unmatched in the industry—whether we are providing services in character or alphabet-based languages, we deliver electronic files and any requested output to meet tight deadlines and accommodate last minute requests.
