Multilingual FrameMaker DTP Services
Are you developing your product user manuals and technical documentation using Adobe FrameMaker and need to format the translated MIF or .book files so they look professional in the target languages? No problem. Stepes provides expert multilingual DTP services for all versions of FrameMaker. We also format localized FrameMaker documents that use conditional text, variables, and text insets with efficiency. In addition to formatting the text content, our DTP team also has experience generating updated TOC and index to match the localized content, as well as outputting final PDF files for different usages.

MS Word Formatting in Asian and European Languages
Microsoft Word is one of the most prolific authoring tools used by global enterprises to publish a wide variety of business documents. However, Word formatting in other languages is more easily said than done. This is why you need Stepes. We provide professional multilingual DTP services for Microsoft Word and all other Office tools such as PowerPoint and Excel in over 100 languages. Our experienced publishers have expert multilingual layout knowledge with text styles, leading, kerning, tracking, paragraph indents, as well as graphic objects, charts, and tables. Stepes supports both monolingual and multi-language text layout within the same Microsoft Word document. Simply upload your files onto our online portal to receive an instant DTP quote.
Adobe InDesign Desktop Publishing
Compared to early generations of desktop publishing tools such as QuarkXPress and PageMaker, InDesign has grown exceptionally fast due to its tight integration with other Adobe Creative Suite tools such as Illustrator and Photoshop; it now captures the biggest share of the creative design and page layout for visually compelling communication materials. Companies increasingly develop marketing brochures, product datasheets, and even user manuals using InDesign and then translate the documents into other languages. The good news is translating InDesign files is easy now because most translation tools (CAT) such as Stepes TMS support processing IDML files natively. Stepes’ InDesign DTP complements our translation services so we can deliver end-to-end localization solutions to our clients.
InDesign DTP often involves the processing of high-resolution images and complex graphics due to unique requirements of marketing brochures, posters, and datasheets. Many InDesign files also have page bleeds and other layout treatments that require specialized knowledge in order to properly format in other languages. This is where Stepes excels. We provide expert InDesign multilingual DTP services in all languages with quality and speed. Just send us the files and we’ll take care of the rest. We have experience publishing InDesign files for both print and Web productions.
