Layout & DTP

Polished formatting for every language.

Translation changes text length — sometimes significantly. A Swedish annual report translated into English may grow or shrink by 20–30%, shifting page breaks, captions and tables. Our layout and desktop publishing (DTP) service ensures your documents look polished and professional after translation, in any format.

What is DTP for translated documents?

Desktop publishing (DTP) is the process of formatting and typesetting a document so that it is ready for print or digital distribution. In a translation context, DTP means reformatting the translated text to match the layout of the original — adjusting text boxes, reflows, table alignments, headers and image captions so that the final document looks identical in structure to the source.

Formats we work with

We handle all common document formats used in corporate publishing:

  • InDesign (INDD) — the industry standard for annual reports and investor communications
  • Word (DOCX) — for internal documents, policies and reports
  • PowerPoint (PPTX) — for presentations and investor decks
  • PDF — final output in print-ready or screen-optimised format
  • HTML/web — for digital publications and online annual reports
