Adelphi specialise in foreign language typesetting (DTP) and are especially experienced in typesetting complex and exotic scripts. Here are some case studies of work we have produced in Far Eastern languages including Chinese, Japanese, Cambodian, Korean and Malay.
Cambodian, or Khmer is the official language of Cambodia with speakers in the tens of millions and its own exotic script. The example below was one of the first typesetting jobs we did for Amnesty International after we were selected as their language supplier. Since then we have completed brochures in Croatian, Tamil, Cambodian, Albanian, Malay, Romanian, Romani, Hungarian, Ukrainian, Sinhalese, Indonesian, Russian, Portuguese, Georgian, Slovak, Kinyarwanda, Swahili, Hindi, Bengali and Greek for Amnesty.
Korean is in some respects simpler to work with than Chinese or Japanese. Korean word wrapping is less problematic as written Korean breaks down into individual words with spaces, unlike Japanese and Chinese.
Adelphi translations experience with Japanese typesetting as well as Japanese websites, voice overs and subtitles present no problems for us. Adelphi started out by specializing in Japanese typesetting of brochures, leaflets and other printed materials 10 years ago and has since typeset over 120 different languages. Our in-house Japanese staff proofread all Japanese work before approving it for sending to the client.
Using sophisticated translation software we can produce foreign language €˜clones’ of an existing English website without the risk of damaging any embedded code. Adelphi Translations are experienced in working with all aspects of a website including Flash movies, images and sound. The sample below for a hotel in London was translated into various languages including Japanese.

When typesetting Chinese we are fortunate to have Tony Wong as our in-house Chinese typesetter and resident expert on the Chinese language, which assures that your Chinese typesetting projects are handled professionally and accurately. We recently produced the brochure below for the Birmingham Chamber of Commerce about the Chinese training camp for the Chinese Olympic Team in 2012.
Adelphi Translations don’t shy away from ‘rush jobs’. We will always do our best to meet deadlines, no matter how impossible they may seem. Late one afternoon, at 4 pm to be precise, a well-known London Advertising agency came running to Adelphi Translations with an urgent Chinese translation and typesetting of leaflets. The final Chinese typeset files had to be delivered as artwork, in Adobe Indesign format, by 9 am the next morning.
The only way to meet the deadline was to translate directly into the InDesign artwork files. Our in-house Chinese translator was able to translate and typeset the documents and meet the deadline. Since then we have completed more Chinese typesetting jobs for the same agency but, thankfully, with a more realistic deadline of 24 hours.
As well as producing foreign language subtitles for video, Adelphi Translations have been involved in many projects which required €˜same language captions’, which are basically subtitles intended as an aid to deaf or hard-of-hearing viewers.

Adelphi Translations Ltd is a full service translation agency producing not only translations but also websites, typesetting and Subtitling. Adelphi ensures that all our translators are professional and work only into their mother tongue. This ensures accuracy. All our translators are members of either the Institute of Linguists or the Institute of Translations & Interpreters. They will also have a minimum of three years experience in professional translation. Your project is matched to the most suitable translator with the relevant expertise to translate your document.
We also provide transcription services to provide time-coded scripts for translation. The length of many languages will expand when compared to original English and care must be taken in the translation to keep the true meaning of the English, while staying within the time frame allowed. For voice-overs and 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 would not fit in the allocated time-slot.

Subtitling Greek is no problem as long as a Unicode font is used. In the Unicode encoding standard, the following three phonetic symbols are considered the same characters as the corresponding Greek letters proper: β, θ, and χ.
Our subtitling and voice-over department, Adelphi Studio, is part of Adelphi Translations Ltd., a full-service translation agency producing not only Greek translations and subtitles but also Greek typesetting and Greek voice-overs.
Adelphi is a Greek subtitling agency that aims to provide a full video localization service to our customers.
There are various styles of Greek subtitles that we can offer. Not just the style of Greek font but also whether or not to use an opaque background behind the text or even a stylised background for dramatic effect or no background at all. We can advise you on the options available to suit your video and even produce samples for you to consider.
Localising any on-screen text and motion graphics on your video into Greek. Depending on the individual graphics and the source software used to create them we could require the original data package it was produced in.
Using Adelphi’s English to Greek translation services for subtitling, quality and timing can be closely controlled throughout the project, ensuring that your subtitles will always be ready to publish on or before your deadline. We also provide Greek subtitling for many translation agencies around the world and are happy to work with their translations. As some languages must use specific fonts in order to work with the subtitling software, we can consult with you on your needs and advise you of all of your options. Adelphi is a proud member of the Association of Translation Companies (ATC).
Our in-house subtitle translations department are experts in English to Greek translations and subtitle SRT files. SRT files are time-coded transcripts that can be imported into the subtitling software that then displays the correct subtitle in the correct sequence.
We also offer a transcription service for those customers lacking a transcript of their videos. We provide time-coded scripts of your videos that are ready to be translated. We will then use those translations for the subtitle text, sending you the files at each stage of the process for you to review and assess.
Below are subtitle samples in various languages, click on the video you wish to watch.
We work for companies and organisations such as Disney, Vidal Sassoon, and Jaguar Land Rover, to list a few. Plus international aid agencies such as Amnesty International, Refugee Action, UNICEF and the Refugee Council as well as many translation agencies and publishing companies all over the world.
By using an IDML file exported from InDesign we can speed up the translation and DTP 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.

Clients often come to us with Tamil translations produced by another agency or freelance linguist. However, in many cases, the translator will not have used a font that is compatible with any typesetting software, making the translation unusable. In cases where the wrong font is used, the entire translation has to be rewritten using a professional font, thus incurring additional costs for you.
Thanks to Adelphi’s typesetting expertise, we understand that Tamil fonts are often incompatible with each other and cannot simply be swapped with other Tamil fonts. When we produce the Tamil translation, we make sure that it is translated using a professional font that works in typesetting software packages.
Thai has very long compound words and can be difficult to break in the right place. Also, it is very important that the diacritics are lined up correctly otherwise the meaning of the word can change.
