File Preparation Services
for Busy School Districts
Struggling to format PDF IEP reports
and complex Adobe files?
Focus instead on translation!
We’ve uncovered a costly pitfall in school district translation.
Did you know that your translation staff has to wrestle with files before they can even begin their real work?
We conducted interviews with staff at multiple school districts nationwide, and heard one very common pain point: Translators and their managers spend countless hours tackling PDF or complex IEP documents formatted by Frontline, SESIS, SEIS, and others, including design formats coming from Communications or Curriculum departments.
Delegate the admin and design tasks.
Focus on what translators do best.
Your translation staff brings specialized language ability. But let’s face it: Having to fix and tweak obscure file formats (let alone master graphic design!) keeps them from doing the work they were hired for. Translators like to translate! Imagine removing those everyday frustrations—and freeing up their time for focused productivity in their field!
We support every key role in the process

“We use Trados Studio in our school district, and we realized file preparation was key to fully leverage our previous IEP translations. The Translation Team not only helps us keep the layout clean, but also do it in such a timely way that it never delays the translation process.”
Don McGinnis, Translation Services Manager
Introducing a new, tailored service
for school districts that use CAT tools.
School districts running computer-assisted translation (CAT) software can markedly increase Individualized Educational Program report translation output by offloading file preparation tasks.
With our IEP file preparation and Adobe design services, school district translators and managers can now focus on serving as vital liaisons between their multilingual communities and their district’s schools.
Are you managing complex requests
in addition to those for Special Education?
School districts are often tasked with handling files that were created in Canva, InDesign, Illustrator, Photoshop, Publisher, and PowerPoint, to name a few. For these file types, we’ve seen that Communications, Curriculum, and Student Services are usually the top department requesters.

“We translate dozens of multilingual IEPs throughout the school year, but also other parent-facing materials, such as HR and school enrollment guides, presentations, superintendent reports. They are all worked in InDesign, Canva, and other creative software. The Translation Team helps us with design and file formatting (heavy lifting!), and we can focus on the rest. They are lifesavers!”
