Hebrew Typesetting

Hebrew typesetting presents more challenges than typesetting in European languages. Hebrew is of course written from right to left, and Hebrew books are read by turning the pages over to the right, or in other words the opposite way to English books. So any artwork which has been created in English needs to be reversed for Hebrew, the pages need to be re-imposed so the publication will read correctly, and usually the graphical elements on the page will be reversed for the Hebrew typeset version.

Linguaset will translate any text into Hebrew, and then, after proofreading, our studio will typeset the new Hebrew document, reversing the artwork if required and formatting multi-page documents to create a Hebrew version. Delivery would normally be by high resolution PDF, Illustrator or EPS files, with all of the Hebrew text outlined to avoid any problems with fonts. We can also deliver the job as an InDesign or Quark document, again with outlined Hebrew text in position.

Corrections to the Hebrew typesetting

Because we do all of our Hebrew typesetting in-house (which is very unusual in the language industry) we are able to respond very quickly to the inevitable authors' amendments which arise with any typesetting work, not just Hebrew typesetting! We nearly always deliver small corrections to typeset jobs within a few hours, or even immediately if asked. We have a very high speed internet connection and our clients can download their Hebrew artwork files from a secure ftp server at a speed of 50Mb/sec (if their connection is fast enough).

Technological infrastructure

We also have the hardware infrastructure necessary to give a fast and reliable service to our clients. All clients' typesetting work is held on a redundant RAID 5 disc cluster, with continuous on-line backup. This means that we can retrieve any file even if it was accidentally deleted from the main server. We also provide white-label hosting of Hebrew websites, or indeed websites in any language, which we are localising for our agency clients, so that their clients can view sites which are under development, remaining unaware of our involvement in the Hebrew website localisation process.

Hebrew Typesetting Samples

Most of our customers for quality Hebrew typesetting and Hebrew translation are major advertising agencies and design houses. We have many samples of Hebrew brochures, Hebrew press advertisements and Hebrew HTML mailers. For reasons of confidentiality we are not able to show samples of this work on our website, however, if you would contact us we will send samples of Hebrew typesetting that we have done for companies such as Microsoft, Seagate, 3-Com,  UPS,  Shell and Semantec.
