A quality start
Fix formatting, remove visual inconsistencies, and boost final content quality.
File engineering
File engineering gets your content ready for localisation: faster, more accurately, and with less effort. Clean, structured files mean smoother workflows, better reuse, and higher-quality translations.
Fix the layers before they break your flow
Messy files slow you down. Whether you're dealing with layered PDFs, inconsistent formatting, or hidden content, file engineering helps you fix the issues before they disrupt your localisation process.
By cleaning, structuring, and converting your files, you avoid errors in Computer-Assisted Translation (CAT) tools, reduce manual edits, and keep projects moving.
From PDFs and InDesign to Excel and XML, your content is prepared for multilingual workflows from the start.
A human touch that smooths out the cracks
Automated tools, even in this day and age, can only take you so far. When it comes to file engineering, it’s the human expertise that makes the difference. With an expert eye on your content, you get files that don’t just work—they work better.
From detecting hidden issues to making judgment calls that software can’t, this is where experience saves you time, avoids errors, and improves the outcome of your entire localisation process.
Layer by layer, get it translation-ready
Not all content is ready to translate straight out of the box. Expert file engineering helps you cut through complexity, convert what matters, and clear the clutter—so your files do more of the work, and your team does less.
-
Clear from the start: PDFs, design files, and presentations are transformed into clean, editable formats—without losing the layout you need.
-
Old formats, new life: Static scans or legacy tools don’t hold you back. Get content that's fully editable and ready to plug into your localisation workflow.
Faster workflows
Remove bottlenecks by making content fully editable and compatible with your CAT setup.
Less manual work
Eliminate error-prone copy/paste processes and automate formatting clean-up.

From engineered files to ready-to-publish layouts
File engineering and desktop publishing (DTP) go hand in hand. One prepares your content for translation; the other brings it back to life—fully localised and visually aligned with your original design.
-
File engineering: Layered or unstructured files (like PDFs or InDesign) are cleaned and made editable for translation.
- Translation: Your content moves smoothly through tools like our TMS, Smart Editor, and Translation Memory.
- Desktop Publishing (DTP): Once translated, it’s reintegrated into your original layout, visually polished and market-ready.
Security
Enterprise-grade security for your sensitive information
We secure your data with verified systems, constant monitoring, and tested resilience.
Built around your workflow. Designed to deliver better localisation.
No two organisations work the same way. From tools and teams to file formats, your setup is unique, so your localisation process should reflect that. We don’t offer rigid pricing or standardised solutions.
Instead, we create workflows that flex with your needs, with file engineering that keeps everything running smoothly. Interested?
