Flawless Layouts Across Every Language & Script

Translating content is only half the journey. Differences in word expansion (German expands up to 35% compared to English, French expands by 20%), reading direction (Arabic and Hebrew are Right-to-Left), and non-Latin character sets can break page geometry, distort tables, and ruin brand appeal.

Hanioo's specialized Desktop Publishing (DTP) engineers reconstruct your multi-page documents, product catalogs, technical manuals, marketing collateral, and regulatory packaging so they appear as though they were originally designed in the target language.

  • Native Source File Processing: We work directly within your raw files (.INDD, .IDML, .AI, .PSD, .FM, .QXP, .PPTX) preserving master pages, typography styles, vector layers, and graphic links.
  • Bidirectional & Complex Script Engineering: Flawless layout mirroring, inverted reading flows, and tailored font matching for Arabic, Farsi, Hebrew, and East Asian character sets.
  • Rigorous Post-DTP Linguistic QA: Native linguists review every laid-out page to ensure hyphenation, line breaks, text flow, and image callouts remain linguistically impeccable.

Frequently Asked

Document Localization & DTP FAQs

We accept virtually all industry standard publishing and graphic formats, including Adobe InDesign (.INDD, .IDML), Adobe Illustrator (.AI, .EPS), Adobe Photoshop (.PSD), Adobe FrameMaker (.FM, .MIF), QuarkXPress, Figma, Microsoft Office (PowerPoint, Word, Publisher), and technical formats like AutoCAD and DITA XML.
Languages like German, French, and Russian typically expand between 15% and 35% compared to English. Our DTP engineers resolve expansion by judiciously adjusting font sizes, kerning, leading, column margins, and frame geometry, ensuring the translated page maintains identical visual weight and typographic elegance without truncating words or creating awkward widows and orphans.
Yes. Right-to-Left localization requires more than text translation; the entire layout architecture must be mirrored. We invert column order, reposition graphics, flip navigation elements, and adjust punctuation to ensure natural reading flow while preserving your corporate identity.
Yes. Upon project completion, we deliver complete packaged native source files (including linked localized graphics and font references) along with press-ready, high-resolution CMYK PDFs with crop marks, bleeds, and vector text outlines, plus optimized lightweight digital distribution PDFs.
