In general, DTP refers to computerized text editing, page layout design, and graph and image processing as well as type-setting that can meet publishing requirements. However, in the field of localization, DTP refers to creation of new layout based on the original documents of certain language (like manual, catalogue and leaflet, etc.) into another language or multi-lingual versions. DTPfast, Inc. provides customers with DTP services, courseware localization, website localization, etc. and supports multi-lingual, multi-tool and multi-technology types.
