Pashto typesetting

The Pashto alphabet is derived from the Arabic alphabet and there are 45 letters in total with 4 diacritic marks but has several letters which do not appear in any other Arabic script. Pashto is a modified form of the Persian alphabet known as Perso-Arabic, which is itself a derivative of the Arabic alphabet, with letters added to accommodate phonemes used in Pashto that are not found in either Arabic or Persian.

Pashto graphics localization

If you have any text in your graphics we can localize them into Pashto, 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.

DTP QA (quality assurance)

DTP QA is carried out by one of our experienced project managers after the brochure has been set in Pashto. They will check the document for typos, incorrect placement of text, the accuracy of dates, numbers, product names etc. when compared to the English original. At Adelphi, we always carry out DTP QA on all our typesetting projects until the document is perfect.

Data required

We require to be provided with a “collect or package” of the original English artwork for us to adapt it into Pashto 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 Pashto artwork and a print-ready PDF set to your specifications.

Many languages expand once translated from English, so it is best if you leave some space for this. If in doubt, just give us a call and we’ll be happy to help.
Bold, italics and even colors in the same paragraph may not translate into the target language. Avoiding excessive use of 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
