How MotaWord Handles Your Desktop Publishing Project

Translated text rarely fits the original layout. Right-to-left languages, longer word counts and different character sets break the page design unless a DTP specialist rebuilds it. MotaWord's DTP team matches your translated document to the original design, line by line, and our 26,000+ translators are available to translate it first.

Benefits of Using DTP Services

DTP keeps every translated document consistent with your brand guidelines and as easy to read as the original. It catches overflowing text, truncated labels and misaligned tables before delivery, so your team does not spend time fixing layouts after translation.
