Illustrator DTP translation

Text Translation Inside Adobe Illustrator Artwork

Illustrator is a vector graphics application where text and artwork are deeply integrated. Text elements may be set in point type, area type, or type on a path. Fonts may be embedded or linked. Artboards may represent different print sizes or social media dimensions. Translating an Illustrator file without DTP skills risks broken overflow boxes, missing fonts in the target language, and type that overlaps adjacent artwork.

We work with AI source files or exported PDF files with editable text layers. Our DTP specialists ensure that translated text elements maintain the correct visual relationship with surrounding artwork, that any required multilingual fonts are sourced and applied, and that the delivered AI file is ready for export to any output format.

Illustrator artwork seldom reaches an official desk, but the wording in trademark or packaging artwork can. When a filing needs that text documented, we can provide a certified translation of it with a signed certificate of accuracy. Brand and packaging reviews with international teams can be supported by professional interpretation services.

What You Get

Key Features of AI File Translation

All Text Type Support

Point type, area type, and type on a path are all handled. Paragraph text boxes in Illustrator are reflowed to fit the translated text within the original type area.

Brand Consistency

Brand colors, typefaces, and visual hierarchy are maintained in the translated file. Text is adapted to fit without altering the design's core visual identity.

Multilingual Font Sourcing

CJK, Arabic, Devanagari, and other non-Latin scripts require specific fonts. We source and apply appropriate multilingual fonts for the target language.

Packaging and Label Support

Product packaging files with tight text areas, legal copy, and nutritional tables are handled with particular care for character limits and regulatory text requirements.

Questions About AI Translation

Should I Submit an AI File or Export to PDF for Translation?
Native AI files give the best results because text remains fully editable. If your AI file is very old or uses proprietary embedded fonts, exporting to a PDF with editable text (not flattened) is an acceptable alternative. Please do not send flattened or rasterized PDFs for Illustrator work, as text cannot be extracted from these.
Can You Translate AI Files with Multiple Artboards?
Yes. Multi-artboard Illustrator files are common for social media campaigns, print ad series, and product packaging variants. All artboards are translated in a single project for consistency, with each artboard checked individually for fit and overflow.
What Happens If My Illustrator File Uses Fonts That Are Not Available for the Target Language?
We identify font coverage issues during the initial file review. Where a brand font does not cover the target script, we recommend a suitable alternative that matches the weight and style of the original. Font substitution suggestions are confirmed with you before work begins.
