In a discussion of InDesign-related translation issues, someone mentioned the problem of text expansion in certain languages as a reason to work instead with exports to other formats. Aside from the problems of possible special character loss (mentioned in the companion article to this one), these adjustments of text box size or change of fonts to deal with different text length are fairly quick for the client with InDesign to make, and using the PDF-generation features of the Language Terminal InDesign server, one can see (if the right fonts are installed!) where these problems occur during the translation review and make note of any issues for the graphic designer.
