Our Process: Terminology and Translation

We started by analyzing the product documents and brochures we received. It was clear from the beginning that the biggest challenge would be terminology, as Schell used many specific, proprietary terms not found in public sources.

Our contact at Schell suggested a collaborative approach. Their team reviewed our initial translations, and we fed all accepted changes back into our SDL Trados Studio software. This allowed us to consistently apply their preferred terminology to all future work. As a result, we were able to internalize their brand voice and consistently meet their quality standards.

Desktop Publishing (DTP)

After the translation was complete, we managed the Desktop Publishing using Adobe InDesign. We translated and proofread the .indd files directly within SDL Trados Studio and then delivered clean, press-ready .indd packages.

Since Turkish text often expands and includes special characters (like ı, ş, ö, ü, ç), some layouts needed to be adjusted. Our DTP specialist fixed issues with text overflow, line breaks, and spacing to ensure the final InDesign files and PDFs preserved the original design.
