DTP stands for
Desktop Publishing.
A Desktop Publishing specialist is
responsible for creating or duplicating the layout of the text translated into different languages, regardless of the type of project in question "
software, manuals, or other electronic or print materials.
She or he must have a thorough knowledge of operating systems (Windows, Macintosh, Linux) and software packages used for graphics and layout (Adobe Acrobat, Photoshop, Illustrator, XPress, Office Suite, Adobe Type Manager, etc).
Once the translation is completed "or beforehand, depending on the type and size of the project in question"
the DTP expert performs a careful review of the original document
(fonts, operating system, predetermined printer drivers, tables, style templates, etc.) in order to faithfully convert the original document into the target language version.
