Translate InDesign brochures—automated layout has never been easier
Professional translation of Adobe InDesign (.indd) files, fully preserving paragraph styles, character styles, and master pages. Intelligent management of text overflow, with support for updates to tables of contents, indexes, and cross-references—a publication-grade translation solution.
Superior to traditional INDD translation
"Purpose-built for publishing and desktop publishing (DTP) professionals. Shangyi AI flawlessly interprets the complex structure of .indd files. We not only translate the text, but also automatically apply the original document’s paragraph and character styles, intelligently manage text overflow, and deliver translations ready for print."
Not just translating text,
but restoring the soul of your documents
Preserve paragraph and character styles in their entirety
This is the essence of typography. The translated text will automatically adopt the styles set in the original document. From heading fonts and body text line spacing to the color of highlighted words, every detail is perfectly replicated.
Intelligent Overset Text Processing
Eliminate layout headaches. When German or Russian translations become too lengthy to fit within a text box, the system intelligently adjusts letter spacing or box dimensions, greatly reducing red 'overset text' errors and saving substantial manual adjustment time.
Master Page Synchronization
Manage global elements all at once. Whether it’s headers, footers, page numbers, or background decorations, as long as they are on the master page, we can identify and translate them, automatically applying updates across all pages.
Table of Contents and Cross-Reference Updates
Document structure remains intact. After translation, you can simply click 'Update Table of Contents' or 'Update References' in InDesign; page numbers and headings will automatically point to their new translated locations, and all links will remain valid.
Linked Image and Package File Support
Supports packaged uploads. If your document contains numerous linked images, you can package them for upload to ensure that the translated file does not generate any 'missing link' errors.
Direct delivery of INDD source files
Seamlessly integrates with your workflow. The downloaded file is in native .indd format, allowing you to use it directly for print proofing or eBook export—no conversion required.
Why does format matter?
- Precise formatting is the hallmark of professionalism.
- Reduce secondary formatting time.
- Ensure accurate and precise information delivery.
