Overhead flat-lay studio shot of four open children's books arranged side by side on a pale surface, each edition showing the same interior spread adapted into English, Spanish, French, and a non-Latin script — clean even studio lighting, books parallel to camera, slight gap between each volume revealing the spine, no hands or props

The grid decides before the translator opens the file.

Language expansion, character density, and text directionality are structural decisions — built into the layout system from the first column, not retrofitted at production close.

Wide landscape studio photograph of four open book spreads placed in a horizontal row on a dark matte surface under clean diffused overhead lighting — the same two-page children's book layout shown in English, Spanish, French, and Mandarin editions, each spread clearly showing typographic differences in column width and text density, photographed from directly above, even shadow-free illumination

— Adaptation Strategy

Four languages. One grid architecture.

Spanish expands body copy by up to 30%. Mandarin compresses it. French requires wider tracking. Each language edition was mapped to the same underlying column system — adapted, not rebuilt.
