DTP saves your Time and Money.
But How?
Preparation is the Key
Proper DTP preparation streamlines the translation process and reduces costs.
Here's what to consider:
Identifying Document Issues:
-
Formatting: Inconsistent formatting (fonts, sizes) creates extra work during translation.
-
Line/Word Breaks: Manual line or word breaks can disrupt translated text flow.
-
Section Breaks: Unnecessary section breaks can lead to segmentation errors.
-
Unwanted Spaces: Extra spaces can inflate word counts and translation costs.
-
Images with Text: Text within images requires extraction or recreation for translation.
-
Excessive Tags: Unnecessary formatting tags in files can break text segments, impacting translation memory creation. This can happen due to inconsistent formatting in the file or if the file has been saved from PDF.
​​
Cost Savings from DTP:
-
Clean Translation Memory: Well-formatted files ensure accurate translation memory capture, reducing repetitive translations.•
-
Reduced Post-Translation DTP: Consistent formatting minimizes layout adjustments in translated languages.
-
Faster Translation: Optimized files translate quicker, saving time and associated costs.
-
By investing time in proper DTP preparation, you can significantly reduce translation costs and ensure a smooth, efficient process.
