Start with how people read
A right-to-left interface needs more than translated labels. Reading order, alignment, navigation, and the relationship between controls all shape how a screen is understood. Persian and Pashto should feel intentional throughout the experience, including the small moments: an empty state, an error message, or a confirmation.
Give language room to breathe
The same idea can occupy very different amounts of space across languages. A rigid button width or crowded navigation bar can turn a good translation into a difficult interface. Flexible layouts, readable type, and testing with the actual words are part of the design work.
Preserve meaning, not just position
Some things should mirror and others should not. A paragraph follows the direction of its language; a phone number, code snippet, or familiar brand name may need its own treatment. These details deserve deliberate decisions instead of one global rule.
A product should feel at home
The aim is simple: people should be able to focus on what they came to do. Language should support that task, without making them work around the interface. This is an ongoing consideration across the studio’s learning and operational projects.
