Schell trusted us in our DTP services with the integration of translation.

Accented letters in the target languages might introduce challenges during DTP projects. For example: Turkish accented letters such as "İ": Turkish has 4 versions of the letter "I". Unlike English, which has only two, a lowercase dotted i and an upper case dotless I, Turkish has lower case and upper case forms of both the dotted and dotless I.

PDF files: If the original file formats are unavailable and you only have PDF files, we implement a contingency plan. We convert the PDF files to .docx format and proceed with the translation. This method can be useful for creating .docx files for internal purposes, such as staff training materials.

Availability of fonts: Also, source documents may contain numerous typefaces not available in the target language. In this case, new fonts (Unicode Arial, Times, Verdana, etc.) may be adopted or non-existing accented fonts of the target language may be recreated to maintain the look and feel of the original design.
