Japanese is one of the few languages which takes up less space when translated from English. Japanese also has no spaces between words, so you need to be able to read Japanese to make sure that any words are not cut in half at the end of sentences.
Graphics localization
If you have any text in your graphics we can localize them into Japanese, to do so we require the original ‘live text’ files such as in Photoshop or Illustrator. We have the latest Adobe CC applications on Apple Mac computers.
Data needed
We require to be provided with a “collect or package” of the original English artwork for us to adapt it into Japanese this should include the fonts and any images linked to the document, without these we cannot create a print-ready PDF as the deliverable.
Deliverable data
We can supply the finished Japanese artwork and a print-ready PDF set to your specifications.

Many languages expand once translated from English, so it is best not to pack the pages with text, leave some space for expansion.
Bold, italics and even colours in the same paragraph may not translate into the target language. Avoiding these will keep your costs down and speed up the process.
Drop caps and uppercase are not supported in some languages.
If you want to place text over an image, try to add it to the document rather than in the image itself. That way we can edit exactly what you need changing.
We can advise on fonts to match the original as close as possible.
