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.

“We contacted Betranslated services in July 2024. My daughter had time sensitive documents that required certified translation from Spanish to English. The company accommodated her request and promptly, accurately translated all of her documents ahead of time. The documents showed clearly which part had been translated to make it easy to identify. They were friendly & professional, and we would recommend their services to anyone.”
