Why PowerPoint is Hard to Translate
PowerPoint slides are canvas-based. Text boxes have fixed sizes. When you translate English to German, the text often expands by 30%.
Common Issues
- Text overflowing boxes
- Font rendering issues
- Misaligned images
Best Practices
- Leave White Space: If you are designing a deck for international audiences, leave extra room in text boxes.
- Use Standard Fonts: Arial or Roboto work best for multi-language support.
- Use Automated Tools: Our parser automatically resizes text to fit the original bounding box, or alerts you to potential overflows.
