Product catalogs, company brochures, and sales collateral translated by specialist marketing translators and formatted for DTP production in print and digital channels.
Print catalogs and brochures present a unique challenge: translated text expands or contracts relative to the source (French typically runs 15 to 20% longer than English; German up to 30%), and this directly affects the layout. Text overflow breaks the grid, pushes images out of position, and creates reprinting costs if not caught before press. Translation and DTP must be handled as a single workflow.
BeTranslated provides catalog and brochure translation with native DTP integration in InDesign, QuarkXPress, and other publishing formats. We accept InDesign and IDML source files, extract translatable text via XLIFF or XML export, translate in a CAT tool that preserves formatting tags, and return the translated file ready for final proofing. For multilingual editions, we coordinate all language versions against a single deadline.
Full catalog translation including product names, descriptions, specifications, pricing notes, and ordering information. Translation memory ensures consistency across catalog editions and annual updates.
Corporate identity documents translated with attention to brand terminology, executive messaging, and the formal register expected in professional B2B collateral.
Single-page and multi-page sales sheets, fact sheets, and conference leave-behind materials translated with tight turnaround for trade show and pitch meeting deadlines.
InDesign (.indd/.idml), QuarkXPress, and PDF source file handling. Translated files returned in the original layout format with text overflow corrections applied.
Interactive PDF, flipbook, and digital catalog translation for online distribution, with hyperlinks, form fields, and navigation elements preserved in the translated version.
Annual reports and investor materials translated with financial accuracy and corporate tone. Co-ordinated across design, translation, and legal review stages.

“I recently used a translation agency in France to translate several administrative and commercial documents into Spanish. The service I received was absolutely exceptional. Not only were the translations accurate and professional, but the team was also very responsive and understanding of my specific needs. BeTranslated truly took the time to understand my context, and the translations perfectly reflected this understanding. I highly recommend their services to anyone needing high-quality translations, and I will not hesitate to use them again in the future.”
