Professional Hindi typesetting services

Adelphi has over 20 years of experience providing Hindi typesetting services, localizing your brochures, manuals, and packaging into Hindi ready to print.

Adelphi is a Hindi typesetting company that has worked with hundreds of advertising and design agencies and their clients to break into new markets and adapt their message into Hindi. (Hindi is also called Bangla). As well as working for translation agencies worldwide, Adelphi has been a trusted supplier for companies such as Disney, Jaguar Land Rover, the Royal Armouries, HSBC, Barclays bank, Vidal Sassoon, the Overseas Development Institute, and Amnesty International.

All of our Hindi typesetting is produced in-house and we never farm out any of our typesetting work to external suppliers, keeping confidentiality and quality control to the maximum.

We produce all kinds of Hindi printed materials including corporate brochures, packaging, business cards, posters, and manuals. Care has to be taken with some Hindi fonts, as occasionally they are not all mapped to the same keyboard layout, this means that some Hindi fonts cannot be swapped with another Hindi font, as some characters will corrupt. This means that the translator must use a standard professional font that can be used in the typesetting application, also some Hindi fonts do not have bold or italic options.

A basic guide to translation of InDesign files using translation software

By using an IDML file exported from InDesign we can speed up the translation and typesetting 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.

Graphics localization

We can also localize any graphics in the document using Photoshop or Illustrator, depending on the image we could require the original layered data with live text, not outlined text. We have the latest Adobe CC applications.

Hindi line spacing

Hindi has much taller characters than Latin text so these scripts often require more vertical space between lines otherwise characters can overlap each other.

Data required

We need the English original data for us to adapt it into Hindi using InDesign and other professional typesetting software, this is usually supplied by the design agency as a “data collect” or “package” which includes all images, fonts, and links (images) to the document. Without these, we cannot create a print-ready PDF as the deliverable.

Deliverable data

  • Many languages will expand once translated from English, so we’d recommend you leave some space for this. If in doubt, just give us a call and we’ll be happy to help.
  • Your style can be central to your project, but sometimes simple really is best. Drop caps, bold, italics, and color text in the same paragraph can sometimes not translate into your chosen language in the way required to reproduce the effect. By avoiding these you can keep your costs down and speed up delivery.
  • Drop caps and uppercase for emphasis can look great in English, but some languages don’t use them. This is where our company’s typesetting experience can help you.
  • 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.
  • As an experienced typesetting agency, we know our fonts and some languages have more restrictions than English. Our staff can show you which fonts work in whichever language you desire, right down to the different weights and condensed versions.

Hindi translation services

Adelphi has its own in-house translation department providing translations in over 120 languages including Hindi. Adelphi ensures that all our translators are professional and work only into their mother tongue. This ensures accuracy.
