Translating for the Reader, Not Word for Word

A brochure is written to persuade or inform in a few seconds. A literal translation keeps the words and loses the effect. Our translators keep the facts exact (names, prices, dates, contact details) and adapt headlines, slogans and calls to action so they read naturally to the new audience. Where a slogan does not carry over, we tell you and suggest options.

Bilingual English and French editions

Many Canadian organizations print bilingual material or separate English and French editions. French text often runs longer than English, so plan room in the layout, and decide early whether you want side-by-side, back-to-back or separate editions.

Design Files, PDFs and Layout

The best starting point is the original design file, for example from InDesign or Illustrator, together with its fonts and images. Translated text can then go back into the same layout. If you only have a PDF, we translate from it and return the text in a file your designer can place.

When you request a quote, tell us if you need the translated text only or a finished file ready for print, and the quote will cover it. Always check a proof of the final layout before printing; line breaks and hyphenation can change in another language, and scripts such as Arabic, Farsi and Urdu run right to left.

Brochure Translation FAQs

Can you work from my InDesign or Illustrator files?

Yes. Send the original design files with their fonts and images, and the translated text can go back into the same layout. Tell us if you need text only or a print-ready file, and the quote covers it.

What if I only have a PDF?

We translate from the PDF and return the text in a file your designer can place into the layout.

Will the French version fit in the same layout?

French text often runs longer than English, so leave room in the design and check a proof of the final layout before printing.

Do you translate slogans and headlines word for word?

No. Facts such as names, prices and dates stay exact, but headlines, slogans and calls to action are adapted so they read naturally. If a slogan does not carry over, we tell you and suggest options.

Can you translate patient or community information leaflets?

Yes. We translate patient information, program guides and public notices so they can be understood by the readers they are written for.

How much does brochure translation cost?
