Graphic design and translation tips

If you’re doing graphic design and publishing in foreign languages, here are some important points to consider:

  • Directionality: right-to-left languages like Hebrew and Arabic mean that page layouts may need to be modified
  • Word expansion: translations can expand up to 30% over the source text
  • Number formats: currency, dates and times must be localized and formatted correctly
  • Line spacing: languages like Japanese and Korean require less vertical space than languages that use Latin characters, so you may need to adjust line spacing
  • Punctuation and orthography: different languages have different rules for punctuation and capitalization
  • Fonts: fonts and character sets vary across languages
