Adelphi Translations Ltd is an agency that specialises in translations and foreign language typesetting (DTP Desk Top Publishing), preparing your documents for print in any world language. For over ten years Adelphi Translations Translations has made sure that documents are created using fonts which preserve the integrity of the language and accurately render the nuances of the written language so that a native reader of the language is comfortable reading your translations in their mother tongue.
Even in these days of Unicode and sophisticated typesetting software it requires an in-depth knowledge and skill to reproduce foreign languages accurately in the world’s numerous writing systems. Each one poses its own problems. It may be as simple as rampant text expansion, threatening to destroy your carefully crafted layout, as most European languages take up far more space on the page than English. Or it could be the accurate rendering of exotic foreign scripts and diacritics which will require an understanding of which fonts will work in modern typesetting software and which will not. It could be handling right-to-left scripts based on the Arabic language, which simply do not work in many software packages. Typesetting Arabic (Arabic DTP) requires specialised software and knowledge. Whatever the problem, Adelphi Translations Ltd has a solution.
The Man-Eater of Punanai is a fascinating story of a past rediscovered through a remarkable journey to one of the most exotic countries of the world – Sri Lanka.
Adelphi were asked by the publisher to typeset the book from the translation provided by themselves. Luckly Sinhalese has no font issues even thought it looks very exotic and typesetting was no problem for us.
