DTP Services by Bohemian Dragomans® – Where Language Meets Design, Certified to DIN EN ISO 17100
In international communication, it’s not just the message that matters – it’s how it’s visually delivered. Especially in multilingual projects, layouts, typography, and graphic elements must be carefully adapted to each target language. That’s where our professional DTP (Desktop Publishing) services come in. At Bohemian Dragomans®, we combine linguistic excellence with design expertise – for print and digital publications that resonate worldwide.
As a DIN EN ISO 17100-certified language service provider, we meet the highest standards of quality, process efficiency, and subject-matter competence. You can be confident that your projects are not only translated accurately but also presented to the highest visual standard.
What Is DTP – And Why Does It Matter?
Desktop Publishing (DTP) refers to the professional layout and typesetting of documents, brochures, catalogs, flyers, manuals, e-books, or digital content. The goal is to integrate text and visuals into a polished, well-structured format that works both visually and contextually.
DTP becomes especially crucial in multilingual settings. Different languages mean different text lengths, hyphenation rules, and character sets. For instance, German texts often take up 20% more space than their English counterparts, while Asian languages require entirely different approaches to line breaks and font rendering.
Without expert DTP, you risk clumsy line breaks, cut-off text, or misaligned graphics – errors that can damage your brand and, in the worst case, alter the meaning of your content.
Our Promise: Seamless Language and Layout from One Trusted Source
At Bohemian Dragomans®, our experienced DTP specialists work hand in hand with our qualified translators and revisers. This ensures that your translated content is flawlessly integrated into your layout – whether you’re working on a multilingual brochure, a technical catalog, or a high-impact marketing presentation.
Our DTP teams are proficient in all major industry-standard tools – including Adobe InDesign, Illustrator, Photoshop, FrameMaker, and QuarkXPress – as well as specialized software for technical documentation. We’re also fully equipped to handle XML- and CMS-based publishing.
Thanks to close coordination between language and layout teams, we address not only linguistic consistency, but also typographic and cultural nuances for each market. The result? Professionally polished layouts that work in every language.
