Graphics, charts and diagrams localisation
Typesetting/DTP could sometimes involve working with graphics elements. Generally, we will have to typeset the individual graphics before being able to perform and complete the DTP work.
Charts created in Microsoft Excel will normally have to be converted to a high-resolution printable file and changed from RGB to CMYK colours for professional output.
Because of the file conversion and typesetting in the graphic application, extra time will be required. Therefore, we charge a small fee for each graphic localisation.
Conclusion:
Typesetting or DTP, choosing an appropriate Chinese typeface is only one of the key issues! The real devil is in the detail — the need to study, understand the language structure and know HOW TYPE is ARRANGED and CALCULATED! For example, all languages may have the same meaning, yet, could be wrongly expressed when the culture is different. DTP/Typesetting is the same theory.
When setting your Chinese text, we always maintain type consistency throughout the document. (See a few pages of recent work for Chatham House: Low carbon report Chinese version <Click).
