Why desktop publishing with Pangea
-
What is desktop publishing exactly?
If we were to give a desktop publishing definition, we could say this: Desktop publishing is the process of inputting the translated content into a given layout design. But we are localizers, and for us, DTP is everything from design adaptation to page alignment and on-page image re-positioning. That's content design for you.

FAQ
Desktop publishing, answered
Desktop publishing is the process of creating attractive page designs with the aid of special computer software, ensuring the original alignment is preserved. It is a process requiring the skill and keen attention to detail of a designer who will carefully extract the text from a non-editable file, prepare it for translation, and then import the translated text into the design system.
Desktop publishing is an important part of the design process. It is responsible for the alignment and overall look of the online or printed material, ensuring that it is engaging and eye-pleasing while improving its readability. As such, it contributes significantly to how your brand is perceived and remembered by your target audience.
The desktop publishing process involves several steps, including: Text importing from non-editable file formats, preparing it for translation and localization, exporting it to the design system, FQA (formatting quality assurance), print-ready preparation (as required), and localization.
