We are often asked about typesetting and dtp in different languages; right to left languages such as Arabic, Urdu and Farsi can give problems in most major design programmes, including Adobe Illustrator and InDesign. The issue is that they corrupt the script, there are possible workarounds, but they are not for the feint hearted. The solution is to use a Middle Eastern version of the product, for example there is a Middle Eastern version of Illustrator made by another company under licence from Adobe. We can prepare text or finished artwork, in an outlined EPS format, thereby allowing it to be imported into the standard version without getting corrupted. Some languages such as Simplified Chinese are more straightforward, but require an expensive set of fonts, which are probably not worth buying for small volumes of work. The solution is to use our dtp and typesetting service.
