2) Work and adhere to existing brand guidelines and designs as requested by the client
Typesetting:
1) Work closely with the Translation Team and Technical Writing Team to develop target-language InDesign files across 52+ languages, including Asian and European languages.
2) Typesetting tasks include, but are not limited to: choosing the suitable fonts, deciding acceptable font sizes, managing line spacing and organizing the text layout on a page to ensure the translated manual matches the approved master file.
3) Adhering text layout and specific style guide requirements based on clients’ briefing and internal guidelines.
