Andiamo’s typesetting services help to transform your translations into their final print and reader-ready format.

We’re committed to not only translation accuracy and quality, but the readability, credibility, and attractiveness of your final product or document.

Our dedicated team are experienced in supporting clients from a huge range of sectors, with DTP services for a wide range of content types, covering over 140 languages.

The service has been excellent. I appreciate the time and quality of the work that has been done, especially the design work in conjunction with the translations.

Please pass on my thanks to your translator and dtp team, as the quality of the returned InDesign files was excellent. The formatting and layout of the content was maintained throughout, and after replacing the English screen menu images with our Czech screen shots, we simply had to 'press print'. Excellent work for your first big project with us.... great work.

Andiamo! has translated a range of promotional material, into a number of languages, amending original artwork files with the correct fonts and text. We were pleased with the way each project was handled, both in regard to accuracy and the speed with which the work was completed.

Andiamo! really understood what I was trying to achieve. They don’t just deliver a job, they write intelligently and on brief. The translated and typeset Chinese artwork supplied was a breeze to slot into my document, which made the process very painless. Thank you!

We have worked with Andiamo! for several years on the translation and typesetting of our gas detector brochures into multiple languages and the end result is always of excellent quality.

Andiamo! regularly translate our Travel Trade newsletters and brochures into 6 languages and provide guidance with the typesetting. We have one dedicated Project Manager who organises all of our requests and we are extremely happy with the level of service and turnaround times. We also receive excellent feedback from our international clients about the translations.

The typesetting services we offer

How we ease your typesetting challenges

At Andiamo, we’ve optimised our typesetting services to ease the common challenges these projects can pose to organisations like yours.

Typesetting non-Latin languages such as Japanese or Korean – An understanding of these languages is required to ensure a high-quality, accurate and readable final document. At Andiamo, we use only native-speaking, sector specialist translators and our typesetting team are experienced in typesetting a huge range of languages, including non-Latin languages.
Understanding how right to left languages impact layout – Our team works with you to explain the options available, and the right approach for your unique project. This usually includes flipping the layout and reworking the translation files so they read correctly from right to left.
Handling your own typesetting – We don’t recommend you attempt to typeset your own translations, for a few reasons.1. Formatting may need to change, or the translations adapted, to ensure the translated content displays well, with many EU language translations being 30% longer than UK source language text.2. It’s essential that languages such as Arabic are aligned correctly to be legible, and that appropriate fonts are selected for non-Latin scripts and that contain additional accented characters.

Our typesetting services are deployed by our skilled and experienced in-house linguists who have the required understanding to ensure accuracy and quality, and prevent errors from creeping in after the translation QA checks.

All typesetting projects include a post-DTP service checking process, to produce a high-quality, highly-readable final document/content piece.

Our typesetting process

We provide an estimate based on your PDF artwork, before confirming a fixed price quotation up receipt of your packaged artwork, via InDesign files etc.
To prepare your files for our translators, we assess and amend them to remove soft returns and line breaks within sentences, remove excess text on pasteboard, ensure relevant layers are unlocked, align icons with text, look for ineditable text that may be required and set into images
We export files ready to be used for the translation process and send them to the perfect translators for your project, who will conduct translations, check them, and send them back to Andiamo! for final QA checks.
Our dedicated team then begins the typesetting service, checking carefully for language-specific issues, and ensuring that cross-references for example have been updated.
Proofs are exported and checked by either our in-house linguists or experienced, native-speaking translators. We then finalise and export the packaged artwork files before sending them to you.
