By using an IDML file exported from InDesign we can speed up the translation and typesetting process when using translation memory software. This method keeps all the formatting from the original InDesign file such as links, character and paragraph styles and fonts plus any interactive elements such as cross-references.
This process only works when creating the translation, if the translation process has already been done then in most cases the text will have to be copy pasted into the document which is much more time consuming and can lead to broken links etc.
Things that might need adjusting:
If the designer has used the same paragraph or character styles in more than one place and has changed the style manually this can cause problems.
Using Drop caps or italics or UPPERCASE for effect can cause problems as some languages do not use these.
Some languages are much longer than the original English so we might have to adjust font size or line spacing so the translated text fits in the original space.
Using IDML translation does not pick up any text in images or any outlined text, these must be translated and set separately.
If the design requires the translated text to be on the same page as the English i.e., side by side then we will require the text box for translation to be populated with the same English text. The English original text boxes must be on a separate layer so that these can be switched off otherwise the translator will have 2 sets of text appearing on his software.

Adelphi offers professionally edited audio as standard for all of our voice over projects. process the ‘raw’ unedited audio data into professional, clean-sounding voice-over files. Included in our quality checks are, listening to the audio to check for any errors, that the pronunciation is correct, all segments have been recorded, timings are right, and the files are correctly split and named; we take out any overly long pauses and normalise the levels, so all the audio is of the same volume.
We work specifically with professional talents so that we maintain our level of quality and professionalism. Each of our talents has their own rates that they work with, this being based on the region they are from, the nature of the project and if they are part of a union. In a one-hour recording session, our talents can record between 1,500 – 3,000 words of voice-over, which is 10 – 20 minutes of audio. This depends on the speed required for the project, e.g. slow for audiobooks and narrations, regular paced e-learning, or fast for commercials.
This is a complex subject as each of our talents have their own rates for the usage fees. Some talents will charge a fee, and some will not. Things to consider with the buyout fees is where the material will be shown such as radio; is that local radio, regional radio or national radio? There are so many variations. Some agencies will charge an extra 100% to 400% or more. These rates are based on the standard UK rate guide for talents based in the UK. For more information, you can check the following link: (https://rates.gravyforthebrain.com/).
For other countries usage, we recommend you approach us first and let us know the nature of the project and the budget you have. We will then provide you with the talents that are flexible to work within your needs.
Our experienced translation team will work with you to fully understand your project in order to effectively manage the workflow from concept to completion. Adelphi ensures that all our translators are professional and work only into their mother tongue. This ensures accuracy.
If the Mexican Spanish audio is going to be used over a video, then the voice-over translation could include timecodes to help the engineer sync up the audio to the video.
The style of translation is important for voice-over translations and should reflect the genre, e.g. if it is for marketing, public information, drama etc. The audio translator will have a copy of the video as a reference and is instructed to translate using a style to match the source material. All our translators have signed an NDA (non-disclosure agreement).
We also provide transcriptions from audio or video in any language, which can be used for processes like providing time-coded transcripts for translation. The length of many languages will expand when compared to the original English and care must be taken in the translation to keep the true meaning of the English, while staying within the time frames allowed in the audio/video. Depending on the language, we sometimes have to edit the English to make a more concise version of the original; this is because the spoken version of many languages is much longer than the English and may not fit in the allocated timeslot. In these cases, we will, of course, discuss the edited English with you first before we begin translation into Mexican Spanish.
Subtitling can often offer a cheaper alternative to voice-overs; at Adelphi, we also produce English and Foreign language subtitles in over 80 languages. So, if you’re not sure which is best for your project, voice-overs or subtitles give us a call or drop us an email and we will answer any questions you have.
