Desktop Publishing - DTP

Definition of DTP

Desktop Publishing (DTP) - is the creation of documents using page layout

skills on a personal computer. DTP is often one of the last steps of a

typical translation project for a localized material to get the final look and

shape. This gets particularly important in the case of strategic materials

the company may have, such as marketing documentation, product

catalogues, advertising materials, company overview leaflets, briefs,

posters, banners, etc.

Why is DTP essential?

•Some languages may expand in word count and require more space or

smaller font size

•Some words can be dozens of characters long, requiring resizing of

graphics and menu items

•Some languages change the order of layout because they are written

right to left

•The formatted layout of localized materials should match the original and

comply with target-language standards at the same time

Examples of bad DTP

"Vinci" is one word, so the space is redundant.

Examples of bad DTP (cont.)Fonts are very important, and so is the proper

justification of a text.
