WHAT WE DO

{1.1}

1 Conversions for Translation
In the world of multilingual publishing, a common challenge is content in non-editable formats. Whether it's PDFs, scanned documents, or graphics with embedded text – these formats often pose a hurdle before the translation process begins. L.TXT offers a tailored solution by converting your static documents into dynamic, editable formats that seamlessly integrate into your CAT (Computer-Assisted Translation) tools.

CAT-ready

Our technology makes your non-editable documents editable again by preparing them for processing. We ensure that converted files are correctly segmented after import into your CAT systems and do not contain superfluous tags and formatting errors.
1

Formatting Competence

Whether it’s images, scans, or PDF files, we can provide the editable format of your choice – from Word documents and Excel spreadsheets to PowerPoint presentations, InDesign files and Autocad drawings.
2

Precise 1-to-1 Layout

We create an exact replica of your original document with automatically updated links, tables of contents and alphabetical indexes, as requested.
3

Lightweight Formatting

For projects where the formatting needs to be similar but not identical to the original, we offer adapted, 'lighter' formatting. We always guarantee 100% compatibility of the converted files with your CAT tool.
