Sophisticated Solutions for DTP File Formats



The translation process for material with extensive formatting and a complicated structure requires a sophisticated solution to ensure that its translation is efficient and faithful to the original format. File format converters offer the most comprehensive support even for complex file formats such as FrameMaker, InDesign, QuarkXPress, PageMaker, Ventura, Interleaf/Quicksilver etc. SDL Trados TagEditor is used as a front-end to translate the tagged text.

  • All formatting and structural information in the files is retained.
  • All translatable text is presented for translation, no unnecessary text is extracted.
  • Flexible and customisable. Supports all DTP documents, no matter what their size, content or structure. Files from any platform supported by the DTP solutions can be converted.
SDL Trados S-Tagger guides you through the conversion process of FrameMaker files. 

Filters for FrameMaker and Interleaf/Quicksilver

SDL Trados Freelance features the S-Tagger conversion solutions for FrameMaker and Interleaf/Quicksilver. Since FrameMaker and Interleaf/Quicksilver are not the ideal environments for translators, SDL Trados provides the S-Tagger as a means of integrating high-end publishing content with SDL Trados.

Solutions for QuarkXPress, InDesign and PageMaker

Other DTP formats such as tagged QuarkXPress, InDesign and PageMaker are supported through Story Collectors. The Story Collectors were developed to address the most common issues raised by SDL Trados customers: reducing the time required to export text from these applications and to re-import the text after translation.
