Format QA
DTP (Desktop Publishing) is performed on both print and online documentation to ensure format quality. DTP personnel compare every page of the localized output to the original source documents, ensuring that all format details (such as fonts, point sizes, page flow, styles, hyphenation, units of measure, part numbers, untranslatable texts, and overall layout) match the source files and comply with the target language conventions.
DTP QA engineers perform spot-checks on the work during the DTP process to find problems at an early stage. When the DTP task is finished, DTP QA engineers double check the entire DTP product according to the client's instructions and our internal quality criteria and return the documents with mistakes (if any) highlighted to the DTP engineers for correction. DTP engineers implement corrections based on the QA comments, and the revised document is reviewed again. This is an iterative process that usually involves two or three passes.
