DTP is needed whenever the documents are images that need to be published. When everything was not computerized, the publishing was done through the large size print presses. It needed the copies and the duplication of the pages. When it was needed to print the images and the words on one page, the graphics, and the content were to be printed separately. Then it was cut out to be pasted on one single page. Then again it was copied and then printed. Computers have shortened the process to an extreme level. This entire procedure is done on computers today with the graphical interface. Everything that you wish to print in a certain pattern or a format has to be done with desktop publishing. This term is specifically used to associate it with professional computer-based publishing. Software such as quark express, Pagemaker, CorelDRAW, or InDesign is used for the high quality of multilingual DTP. The trained technician created page layouts in a way that the image and the content do not just fit but are also attractive and readable for the user. Some basic desktop publishing can also be done by simply using Microsoft Word too.

It is also about just typing, adding one or two images in the word document, and printing something as simple as a school assignment. For this what you simply need is a printer, a mouse, monitor, keyboards, and software that has a command to get the content printed.

3. Though it looks very simple, there are a lot of technical things that are involved in the Desktop Publishings. 1.Text Extraction- The first stage is to extract all the data from the source document. It can come in multiple forms such as files from photoshop, illustrator, Adobe Acrobat(PDF), QuarkXPress, or even in general word documents. They will further prepare it for the translations if needed. They will give it to the authorized translator from the agency. The specialist will have experience with all publishing software. The technician will extract the text from the source either automatically or manually. 2.Content Translations- A certified translator from the agency will render the content from source to target language. He/she considers the cultural differences between the source region and the target region. The converted text is then saved in a different file. It is better to save the translated file completely different from the source file to avoid confusion. 3.Editing the Content- For the purpose of quality analysis, the second translator is involved too. He/she checks for the errors. The third eye helps assure that the conversion of the content is adhering to the context of the source. The third person involved can also check if there are any technical changes that need to be made such as Grammar or sentence formations etc. 4.Translated Text Is Imported in Software- Once the translated content has been cross-checked and achieved the desired quality, the technician imports the translated content in the software to typeset it. The designer in consultation with the translator can design the content and use the color scheme that will suit the target audience the best. It is called localization of the data. For instance, some colors are not considered luck in some countries. Such as Green Color is forbidden in Indonesia. So it will be incorrect to use a lot of Green colors while targeting that area. 5.Rechecking The Designs- The DTP technician checks how the translated content is actually looking in the page layout that he/she has made. The changes are made as per the margin alignments, text, images, boxes, page numbers, headers and footers, etc. he/she makes sure that the entire document is in sync and is in connection with each other. Also, the content is completely localized for the readers to get the best reading experience and information retention.

4. 6.Final Check- It involves the quality analysis from the translator again. He/she checks the typeset document for the errors such as formatting errors if there is any content that is cut during the page formatting, or the dates and any other pagination issue. The translator approves the final copy, the DTP technicians check it again for final corrections if any. Multilingual DTP is a foolproof process that assures the quality, readability, and retention of the information at the same time. After the final proof checking the document is given for the final printing.
