Multilingual Desktop Publishing Overview
Foreign language desktop publishing is a tough challenge. Multilingual Desktop Publishing is a tough task that is not as easy as Copy-paste or text importation. It is a challenging task even using the best software and platform or a very experienced typesetter. For graphic designers, it is important to remember that documents may be required to be later translated into other languages. Hence, simple, internationalized styles are much easier to convert into other languages. An attractive, but complicated professional English design can prove to be a nightmare when publishing in foreign languages.
There are some factors that Desktop Publishers work on keeping in mind that multilingual typesetters, will convert the page into different languages – Some countries have very low internet bandwidth making sites with a heavy load of images and other high bandwidth content a hindrance to the typesetter as it may take very long to download even one picture. Therefore the design is kept as simple as possible.
-
It is observed that foreign languages take up around 30% more space than English. If there isn’t enough ‘white space’, it will become a tedious task for the foreign typesetter. While changing font size, pictures, etc the positioning of the entire page changes and therefore enough empty space is left for easy multilingual publishing.
-
The use of style sheets makes work easier for the typesetter and makes translation work more consistent.
-
Fonts used have to be compatible with special language characters. Fancy fonts usually tend to be incompatible even with popular languages like French or Spanish accents.
-
Proofreaders play an important role because all translated text must be checked for punctuation, text placing, line breaks etc.
-
All file elements are stored together so that it is easy for the typesetter to find all necessary sources. This means all text, images, graphs, charts, and all other source files are provided to the typesetter. All files are stored in lower versions to make sure that if language typesetter does not have the higher versions, the work is not held up.
-
Paying attention to cultural issues to make sure that the language matches the illustrative content. Obviously if the website is being translated in to a tropical regional language, one cannot have pictures with Eskimos on it. Colors are also an important facet because in certain cultures there is an association with certain colors.
