Foreign language DTP
This is desktop publishing (DTP) for layouts that incorporate different languages. In foreign language DTP, country-specific characters, sentences and syllable separations are adapted. Each language has different word and letter lengths, which are taken into account along with special characters, accents and word separations. The layout is adapted to the individual languages accordingly.
