PIXEL PERFECT MULTILINGUAL LAYOUT
Multilingual Desktop Publishing (DTP)
Translation changes text length and sometimes direction—and either can wreck a layout. Locstars provides multilingual desktop publishing so your translated documents look exactly as polished as the original, including full right-to-left rebuilding for Arabic.
What We Handle
Text Grows, Shrinks, and Flips
Translations run longer or shorter than the source—often by a fifth or more—and Arabic reverses the entire reading order: margins, columns, images, tables, and page flow all mirror. We rebuild the layout for the target language instead of squeezing text into a frame built for another one.
Typography That Respects the Script
Arabic type has its own rules—connected letterforms, no fake italics, careful justification. We choose and set fonts that match your brand while rendering each script correctly, so the Arabic version looks designed, not converted.
Tools and Delivery
InDesign, Illustrator, Word, PowerPoint, and common packaging formats—delivered as editable source files plus print-ready PDFs, checked against your brand guidelines.
