Maayan Publications Multilingual Desktop Publishing (DTP) team can localize documents in any language, be they double-byte character languages such as Chinese or right-to-left languages such as Arabic or Hebrew.
Translation of technical documents from one language to another has substantial impact on the graphical layout of documents. For example:
- Documents translated from English to languages such as French, Spanish and Arabic expand in word count and require more space or smaller font size
- German and Russian words can be dozens of characters long, requiring re-sizing of graphics and menu items
- Middle Eastern languages, such as Arabic, Hebrew and Farsi change the order of layout because they are written right to left
- Character-based languages, such as Chinese, Japanese and Korean, require specific versions of even standard publishing software installed on the native (non-US) platform to generate localized documents for the target users
