Desktop Publishing (DTP) Services
Translated text rarely fits the original layout. Right-to-left languages, longer word counts, and different character sets break page design unless a DTP specialist rebuilds it. MotaWord's DTP team matches your translated document to the original design, line by line.

Game changer for a certified translation of a foreign driver's license for Massachusetts RMV. Easy upload of documents and received the translated files 7 hours later! Great price as well.

Nothing to complain, they were very helpful with my queries and very fast on the translations. Special thanks to Yulia, from the customer service team, as she was very kind and patient with me!
