We are one of the few companies that can provide Asian layout in an electronic format, in addition to providing RC paper or film output.

Design and layout Even a perfect translation can be marred by incorrect hyphenation or disregard for international publishing standards. Working with you, we can establish and maintain comprehensive formatting guidelines, including:

•  length restrictions
•  rules for treatment of foreign-language text expansion
•  use of hyphenation
•  treatment and placement of diagrams, graphics and call-outs
•  any icons and symbols and their treatment and placement within the layout For multilingual documents created by your in-house staff or by third parties, we can proof final artwork for correct text placement, broken type and line breaks.

LangPro also converts single-language layout templates to multilingual templates that adhere to the latest regulatory requirements of your target markets. Multilingual documents will have a look and feel consistent with your current materials. Our designers will suggest ways of keeping the documents as short as possible.
