Style Sheet样式表
A style sheet is a reference that defines formatting and presentation rules for a project, including fonts, heading styles, spacing, alignment, capitalization, punctuation, colors, and other specific visual conventions. In localization and desktop publishing, it helps translators, editors, and DTP specialists keep all localized documents visually consistent, correctly laid out, and fully aligned with the source design or brand requirements.

Where this term appears
In multilingual DTP and document localization, a style sheet is shared with DTP specialists, translators, and reviewers before layout work begins. It may come from the client or be created by the localization team to define how localized files should be formatted, especially for materials like brochures, manuals, and web content.
Translation checks
A frequent error is confusing a style sheet with a style guide: the style sheet covers formatting and presentation, while the style guide covers language, tone, and wording. Another mistake is applying source-language formatting rules directly, such as quote marks or heading case, without adapting them to target-language typographic conventions, which can cause visual inconsistencies or reader discomfort.
Keep the term aligned across your files
Creative and consumer content needs accurate meaning as well as tone and context. Subtitles, interfaces and voice scripts also require checks for timing, character limits and pronunciation.
Provide approved terms and previous translations with the source files. Agree how variants, ambiguous wording and revisions will be reviewed. Terminology maintenance and any termbase handback are confirmed in the project scope. See the 8-step AI + expert workflow.
