7 STEP TRANSLATION
&
DTP PROCESS
The technical process of translating a simple word file varies from Publishing file. While translating the content on a Word file, the translator is licensed to go off the page limits. The text may flow from one page to another or one cell to another. But we cannot say the same for an Indesign file. The text in the Indesign file is bound by the text frames. So as a translator one needs to be conscious about the length of the text.
Â
In an ideal world, it will be a great choice to have the translator working on a document layout too. Yet the complexity of the design tools makes it difficult for the translator to work on the layout.
Â
This is exactly where a DTP specialist comes into the place. A DTP specialist is a professional Layout artist who works with publishing tools.
Â
The process of translation & layout is teamwork. It involves a translation team & DTP specialist. Due to the need for varied skillset in the process, the dependency on one another is at various stages.
1. Content Extraction
The publishing files like InDesign are not readable by the most text editors like MS Word. In general, translators do not have the skillset of working with design files. A DTP specialist of Pre-work Manager will extract the contents into a bilingual Word file. Pre-work manager will preserve the header tags to use in post-translation.
2. Translation
The translator is a specialist in the linguistic arena of a particular language. He/She will work on the Bilingual file produced during the content extraction stage. While working the translator will preserve header tags. The translator will try to keep the word length as per original. Yet, the target language content may need words to convey the same message. Ex: Thai content needs more space compared to English.
3. Review & Final Draft
The translation review process includes editing, proofreading and client’s pre-publishing feedback.
Our proofreaders & editors will work on the translation to further polish the draft. Upon satisfaction, we will deliver a bilingual Word file for the client’s review.
Upon client feedback, we will make the necessary edits and revert back to the client. The process will repeat until the final draft is out.Once the final draft is out, the scope of editing the translation is to be minimal to None.
