Flyers

Flyer in another language

The Language field is not a translation toggle. It is passed to the writer before a single word exists, with an instruction to write natively in that language and not to translate jargon literally. The result reads like it was written by somebody who speaks it, because it was never written in English first.

Native writing, not translation

When a language is set, the instruction reaching the writer is explicit: write all copy natively in this language, and do not translate jargon literally. So a Spanish flyer gets Spanish marketing phrasing rather than English phrasing with Spanish words, and a headline slot gets a headline that works in that language rather than the literal equivalent of an English one.

Any language, not a fixed list

The field is a combo box with thirty two suggestions under a Common heading, each showing its own native name beside the English one. Typing anything else offers to use exactly what you typed, so a language, a regional variant or a dialect all go through. There is no dropdown of supported languages, because the field simply passes your text along.

Auto detect reads your brief

The first entry in the list is Auto detect, which sends no language at all and lets the content match the topic. It is the right choice when your brief is already written in the language you want the flyer in. The generator otherwise starts on English, so a Portuguese brief with the field untouched can still come back in English.

Where non Latin scripts hit a wall

The twenty seven font families in the catalogue are Latin first and are loaded from Google Fonts. A script one of them does not cover, Arabic, Thai, Devanagari, Chinese and so on, falls back to whatever font the viewing browser supplies. The words are correct and the layout holds, but the type is the browser's rather than the theme's, and it will not match the design's character.

Right to left is not mirrored

There is no direction handling anywhere in the flyer renderer. Arabic and Hebrew text will read in the correct order inside its own block, because the browser does that, but the design is not flipped: a headline pinned left stays left and a column order stays as drawn. For a genuinely right to left flyer, expect to move blocks yourself.

How it works, in three steps

  1. Step 1

    Set Language before you generate

    It is the first of the four settings. The default is English, so change it even if your brief is in another language.

  2. Step 2

    Or write the brief in that language and pick Auto detect

    Auto detect sends no language and lets the content follow your own wording.

  3. Step 3

    Check the type once it lands

    If the script fell back to a generic font, choose a shorter headline and expect the theme's own face not to apply.

Questions people ask

Can I make a bilingual flyer?

Not from one generation, since the language setting applies to the whole run. What works is generating in one language and then typing the second language into the slots yourself, or asking the chat editor to rewrite specific slots.

Will Arabic or Thai render correctly?

The characters render, because the browser supplies a font that covers them. What you lose is the theme's own typeface and any right to left layout mirroring, so check the result rather than assuming.

Does the language change which designs I get?

No. The design director judges subject and layout fit, and the canvas size filters the pool. Language only reaches the writing step.

What if I write the brief in French but leave the field on English?

You will most likely get an English flyer, since the field is passed as an explicit instruction. Set the field, or choose Auto detect and let your own wording decide.
