DTP Solutions For Localization
Without translating and localizing your documents, 
business booklets, and marketing materials, reaching 
global audiences would be close to impossible. Apart 
from carefully choosing what content to include and 
which language to translate to, there are other 
textual tactics you can use to assist your language 
service provider (LSP) in effective and successful 
translation.
Appropriate Formatting and Presentation
Uniformity is the key. Scrutinize your text and adjust table of 
contents, font sizes, tabs, lists, margins, line spacing, etc. to be 
the same throughout, or at least, as you plan it to be formatted in 
its final arrangement. We recommend making sure that any fonts 
used are intercontinentally recognizable and point sizes are kept 
between 10 & 14. The formatting functions within MS- Word, like 
margins, indents, page breaks and display lists are helpful in 
ensuring your content is presented precisely and consistently. 
Likewise, if images, especially those with text, are embedded 
within your paper (document), include special notes for your 
translator to either provide translated captions or advise you on 
other solutions so your expected local reader will be able to 
comprehend the images.
Check Your Editorial
Have your content document formatted/edited to 
check that any punctuation mistakes, grammar 
and spellings are fixed and won’t be replicated in 
the translations. Most professional translation 
agencies will offer the option to have each 
translation proofread before it’s returned to 
company. This combined with ensuring that your 
source language is perfect, any editorial errors in 
the final versions will be practically eliminated.
Make Sure Your Sentences are 
Structured and Flow well
Each line of text should have a purpose and its syntax 
should be purposeful, meaning that sentence structure is 
not only conceptually comprehensible, but also contains 
brief language that sensibly transitions into your next 
sentence. Shifting sentences that lose focus and aren’t 
consistent per each paragraph will, in return, cause the 
reader to lose focus and will cause your translator to 
make assumptions rather than reproductions.
Personalize
This relates particularly to marketing content. 
Recognizing your target audience and crafting a 
relevant message is critical for effectiveness. 
Before finalizing and sending off your content to 
be translated by LSP, look over your content; who 
is it targeting! Is it too casual or formal, or perhaps
