Format templates: your translation comes out already laid out

Every board, court, or agency requires its own format: a specific typeface, particular margins, line spacing, sometimes numbered lines in the margin. Until now, you had to adjust that by hand, document by document.

What it does

Choose a format template and your translation is delivered already laid out to match it: typeface and font size, margins, line spacing, alignment, line numbering, and a header or footer when the template defines them.

How to use it

1. Go to Formatting from the side menu — that's where your templates live.
2. Create your own or start from one of the ready-made ones.
3. When you create the order, choose the template in step 1.
4. In Review, you'll see the document already in that format, and you can download it in Word to check it.

You can also set a default template in Settings so every order goes out using it.

Good to know

• It's optional: if you don't choose a template, the delivery comes out as it always has.
• The template overrides the document: if it specifies justified text, the result comes out justified even if the original was centered — the same goes for page orientation.
• Leader dot or dash rows run all the way to the margin, as the format requires.
• Anything the template doesn't define is kept as in the original document.

FAQ

Can I have more than one template? Yes, as many as you need, and you choose which one to use for each order.

Does it change what I'm charged? No — pricing is still per page.

Does it work for scanned documents? Yes, the same as for digital ones.
