A Step by Step Guide to Preparing InDesign Files for Translation

If you are a translator, agency or desktop publisher who has had to
translate InDesign files in the past you have probably experienced one,
if not all, of the problems I will help you prevent.

I want to HELP you correct issues in InDesign and simplify the
translation process

Through these quick and easy steps you are guaranteed to save time,
money and headaches.

It is crazy that InDesign is one of the most ordered translation
formats yet there are still so many who suffer problems during the
translation cycle. You no longer have to be one of them.

Now do not get me wrong, I am not an InDesign expert or even a Desktop
Publisher, and you do not need to be either, but in my eight years of
running a translation agency I have had to deal with a lot of InDesign
files and before I knew what I know now...

I HAVE:
* had sleepless nights because an InDesign file has gone
wrong
* missed deadlines with customers screaming
* undercharged through lack of experience in what to expect
* paid external resources to help me fix problems
* had translators complain that they can't work with the
text
* had customers complain that things were wrong or not
translated
* wasted hours searching the Internet for answers
* spent hours reading help files
* had to translate files with incomplete sentences/text in
the wrong order
*

GETTING THE PICTURE?

avoind indesign mistakes

Once you have read this guide you will understand all the things that
affect your translation process and how to easily spot and fix them.
You will be able to add to your CV or tell your customers that you are
experienced handling InDesign files and know the technical aspects that
make the translation a success.

What this guide will not do is make you a Desktop Publisher. There are
plenty of other guides and books available for this and I only want you
to spend as little time as possible on things that are important to you
- TEXT TO BE TRANSLATED.

During my first years in the industry I used to blame the tools I
worked with and told myself that it was something I just had to live
with.

"I learned the hard way that things like hidden characters, text
threads, pink backgrounds, overset text, tables, formatting, line
breaks, tabs, spaces, unused text, file size, embedded images, master
pages, layers, story order and other things will affect the translation
process if they have not been handled correctly."

I kick myself now when I know how easy it is to prevent issues during
translation but there was not a guide like this available when I
started.

Once you have read this guide you will know how to:
* open files across different versions
* setup a default work environment to follow the checks
* identify all the areas that could affect the translation
process and fix them
* reduce the file size and get rid of unnecessary
information
* export the text to a format that can be handled by most
professional translators

For each stage you will learn how to identify an issue and fix it and I
will explain why it will cause problems. Where necessary I will even
show you what the text will look like when presented to a translator.
And do not worry if you have never worked with InDesign before as I
provide easy to follow instructions and screenshots for every stage.

I will also tell you about:
* commercial tools on the market that aid in the
export/import process
* CAT tools used by most translators that can handle
InDesign files
* where to find information about common errors
* where to get help when all else goes wrong

SO WHO AM I?

My name is Chris Phillips and I run Tranflex, a translation agency in
Sweden with over 1,000 customers - a good majority of them advertising
agencies - lot of InDesign files ;-) - and have a working network of
just over 300 translators.

I have been in the industry for eight years and am mostly self taught.
Our customers and translators would describe me as a problem solver and
I am a strong believer in always improving the way we do things. I have
provided consulting services to multilingual vendors in ways to improve
the technical aspects of the translation process. I have developed a
number of time saving tools used in-house and by many MLVs.

I am one of the only people in Sweden to have passed the SDL
Certification exams. I am also a translator from Swedish to English so
I know the pain of translating incorrectly prepared InDesign files.
Most importantly I enjoy helping people and most of the translators who
work with me know they can contact me with technical questions and I
will always try to help them.

Heads up: There's an ongoing spamdexing of Google searchbot algorithms. Sites that are 'copies of copies' and cloaked sites which include Zorgium keywords presented to search engine crawlers yet garbage content presented to human visitors were hosted on thousands of IP addresses and domains registered immediately after the introduction of Zorgium in November of 2009. The Hostgator/'The Planet'/Softlayer datacenters in Texas seem to be the epicenter of this activity in conjunction with anonymously registered domains of various TLD's but primarily .info domains at Godaddy which, in our opinion, has some sort of connection to the domains of goldmint.in and goldmint.org. Google has begun to notice this and has begun to lower the ranking of these sites and put our original sites back on top of the search rankings. These actions, as far as we can tell, negatively impact the use of the keyword 'zorgium' as a search term and provided little benefit, if any, to the perpetrators.

ZORGIUM note to content providers: If you don't want your page to appear in Zorgium's search abstraction then put an exclusion for "Zorgium" in your web server's robots.txt file.
