Multilingual Desktop Publishing

Every Language Looks as Good as Your English

Brochures, forms, guides and packaging laid out in every script, checked by a native linguist and ready for print, web and screen readers.

One Layout, Many Scripts

We Handle What Most Designers Cannot

Text grows by up to 30% in some languages, Arabic reads right to left, and Chinese needs different line breaks. We plan for all of it.

English
Your Rights as a Patient
You have the right to understand your care, to ask questions and to receive information in your language.
Source text
Español
Sus derechos como paciente
Usted tiene derecho a entender su atención médica, a hacer preguntas y a recibir información en su idioma.
Spanish often runs longer, so we leave room in the layout
中文
您作为患者的权利
您有权了解您的医疗护理、提出问题,并以您的语言获得信息。
Much shorter and written without spaces, so line breaks follow Chinese rules
العربية
حقوقك كمريض
لك الحق في فهم رعايتك الصحية وطرح الأسئلة والحصول على المعلومات بلغتك.
Reads right to left, so the whole layout is mirrored

Checked by a Native Reader Before Print

Proof

A native linguist checks line breaks, hyphenation and missing text on the final PDF.
