Localization
Updated September 2, 2026
Table of content
A layout designed around one language rarely survives translation untouched. German and French copy tends to run longer, Arabic reverses reading direction, and CJK scripts change vertical rhythm.
Design the layout with room to grow
- Allow headline space for meaningful text expansion.
- Choose typefaces with the script coverage your markets need.
- Mirror layouts properly for right-to-left languages instead of flipping images.
- Set language-specific line height and letter spacing rather than one global rule.
Keep critical wording out of generated images
Rendering headlines as controlled layers over approved imagery makes localization a text task rather than a regeneration task, and it avoids misspelled generated type.
Turn the insight into campaign creative
Use Mofano to move from one brief to on-brand images, video ads, copy, and market-ready variations while keeping review in the loop.
