FIGS (French, Italian, German and Spanish) Desktop Publishing
FIGS (French, Italian, German and Spanish) are, in some cases, more difficult to typeset than Chinese or Arabic because of the expansion of text when translated from English.
French typesetting text expansion
French is the main culprit and can expand as much as 50% from the original English. Why would this be? The English language has a much larger vocabulary than French, drawing as it does on two entirely different sources (Latin + Germanic). The French language has also been much more strictly controlled by the Académie Française, which has tried to keep the language ‘pure’ and free from foreign influences. When studying French in the 80s I always remember the ‘correct’ equivalent for ‘weekend’. The commonly used ‘Le weekend‘ was frowned upon by the Academy and the official translation was ‘le congé au fin de la semaine‘, literally ‘the break at the end of the week’.
Non-romance languages also tend to combine nouns much more frequently than the Latin languages and new words are more warmly welcomed into the lexicon.
Basic grammatical differences also contribute to the expansion. The possessive ‘s’ in English requires more words in French: ‘Paul’s car’ becoming ‘La voiture de Paul’, ‘bigger’ becomes ‘plus grand’ etc.
German text expansion – Compound words
One of the longest German words is Schweinefleischetikettierungsüberwachungsaufgabenübertragungsgesetz.
Which means the “legislative law for the monitoring of pork-meat labelling.” When typesetting German, compound words need to be hyphenated in the correct place.
Italian typesetting text expansion
In comparison, Italian is not such a problem as the text usually expands by about 10% and this can be resolved in the typesetting. You have to go back a long way to find the longest word in Italian. In 1677 the word precipitevolissimevolmente (as fast as possible), was coined.
Spanish typesetting text expansion
Spanish too does not expand so much and can usually be accommodated during the typesetting phase. If you want to be funny in Spanish, and linguistics at the same time, you can claim that the word ‘arroz’ is the longest in their language, because it starts with ‘a’ and ends with ‘z’. Who says linguists have no sense of humour?
FIGS and website translations
There is something to bear in mind if the translation is being produced for a website for these languages. Having text on images is generally a bad idea. Consider a button used on a web form or for navigation on a web site. The image is usually of a fixed length. If the translations into FIGS produces a longer word the image may have to remade. This will, at the least, be more costly or, at most, it may require a complete redesign of the web page or site.
So the general rule with FIGS is: text will expand. If the original English text and documents or web site are created with this in mind, it will save expense and hassle later on in the localisation process.

Promotion, Corporate or Training Videos: Subtitling &/or Voice-overs
English to Czech Subtitle Localisation
Our Czech subtitling services include:
- In-house translation department
- Transcriptions
- SRT file creation
- On-screen text localisation
- Motion graphics localisation
- In-house production studio
- In-house translation agency
- Dedicated project manager
Our subtitling and voice-over department, Adelphi Studio, is part of Adelphi Translations Ltd., a full-service translation agency producing not only Czech translations and subtitles but also Czech typesetting and Czech voice-overs.
Adelphi is a Czech subtitling agency that aims to provide a full video localization service to our customers.
Styles of Czech subtitles
There are various styles of Czech subtitles that we can offer. Not just the style of Czech 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.
Localisation of on-screen text
Localising any on-screen text and motion graphics on your video into Czech. Depending on the individual graphics and the source software used to create them we could require the original data package it was produced in.
SRT translation and transcription services
Using Adelphi’s English to Czech 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 Czech 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 Czech 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.

A simple guide to localising InDesign files using translation software
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.

What is the difference between desktop publishing and typesetting
- Typesetting is also defined as: Typesetting is the process, the craft, of setting the type for a document, not to be confused with typography, which is the art of designing the type.
- Desktop publishing is also defined as: The production of printed matter by means of a printer linked to a desktop computer, with special software.
Desktop publishing tips for localising English materials
- In some designs the pages are simply filled with text, leaving no room for text expansion. Most languages (with some notable exceptions) run longer than English and some of them run much longer. This causes the localised versions to have to make some sort of compromise: either text becomes smaller or a condensed font is used, or some material is completely cut out for brevity. Neither scenario is ideal, so it is much better to consider this aspect of the task at the design stage.
- Overuse of text formatting features such as drop caps, CAPITALISED TEXT, coloured text, bold text and italic text etc. can slow down the localisation process, as the formatting needs to be applied to the precise word or phrase in translation that is equivalent to the English. Sometimes, this does not work at all if the target language has a dramatically different word order.
- Embedded, non-editable text in images require extra attention and can slow things down dramatically, especially when over the main part of the image. Where possible, the text should be made available for editing in InDesign. If not, we will require all of the PSD files to work with.
- Avoid designing paragraphs or “word clouds” with mixed font sizes that look good in English but have no chance of being replicated in the target language: quite often they do not have the same impact when localised and can often be “lost in translation”. Furthermore, due to word order difference, keywords in English at the beginning of a sentence might end up in the middle or at the end of the sentence when translated.
- One of the most frequent issues we encounter is the incorrect and inconsistent usage of style sheets, in particular where one style has been used but in some instances, bold text, italics or even different fonts have been changed manually. This can cause significant delays in the localisation process.
- Sending the artwork to be typeset BEFORE it is signed off by the client is never a good idea, and neither are new design changes after we have already started the work. We can do nothing in situations like these where significant changes are requested mid-project but start again and present new figures for the work, delaying work and incurring further costs for the client.

What is the difference between desktop publishing and typesetting?
Simply stated, DTP (desktop publishing) and typesetting are the same things. It is putting the translated text into the original layout using software programs like InDesign, Quark, Illustrator etc. Historically typesetting was just that, the setting of wood or metal type into blocks to print from. Desktop publishing was first developed at Xerox PARC in the 1970s and is often used to describe using a computer and software to set the type for publications.
