CMS (Contents Management System)

What we do
Who we work with
Manufacturers and agencies who need one English or Japanese layout turned into ten or twenty language versions, with every version keeping the same look, the same pagination, and the same approved artwork.
How we work
- Prepare — We review your source files, fonts, and style guide, and flag anything that will not survive translation.
- Layout — We apply the translated text to your template, adjusting line breaks, character spacing, and image callouts for each language.
- Check — A native-language reviewer checks every page for text overflow, wrong line breaks, and missing characters.
- Deliver — Print-ready PDF plus the fully editable source files.
