Wanted to share something we noticed while selling in non-English markets.

We had:

• Translated product descriptions
• Localized ads
• Targeting dialed in

But conversions still felt off.

Then we looked at our product page from a customer’s POV.

Before:

• Product title in local language
• Description in local language
• But product images still had English text (feature callouts, benefits, banners)

After (small change):

• Same images, but text inside visuals adapted to the local language

That’s it.

No major redesign. No new creatives.

But the difference was noticeable — the page just felt more native.
Less “imported product”, more “made for me”.

The problem is:

• Doing this manually for every product = time-consuming
• Doesn’t scale if you’re testing multiple markets
• So most of us just skip it beyond top products

Curious how others here handle this:

• Do you localize product images fully?
• Only for winning products?
• Or not at all?

Feels like one of those small things that quietly affects trust and conversions.

Quick question for anyone running multi-channel campaigns.

How are you dealing with resizing creatives across platforms like:

• Instagram
• LinkedIn
• Display ads
• Landing pages

In theory it sounds simple — just resize.

In reality, it usually means:

• Adjusting layout so elements don’t get cut
• Fixing text alignment and spacing
• Maintaining hierarchy across different aspect ratios
• Reworking visuals so they still look intentional

And this gets repetitive fast, especially when you’re pushing multiple campaigns or testing variations.

From what I’ve seen, most teams either:

• Rely heavily on templates
• Do manual adjustments each time
• Or compromise on quality for speed

Curious what’s actually working for people at scale:

• Do you design platform-first from the start?
• Use a base design and adapt it everywhere?
• Or have a workflow that reduces the back-and-forth?

Feels like one of those problems everyone deals with, but no one really talks about.

Working on a few multi-language layouts in InDesign recently and ran into a recurring issue.

When everything is properly structured (styles, linked text, etc.), creating versions for different languages is manageable.

But the moment text is:

• Part of placed images
• Inside graphics or backgrounds
• Or flattened into visuals

…the workflow starts breaking down.

What I’ve been doing so far:

• Recreating those elements manually
• Going back to source files (if available)
• Or leaving some visuals unchanged depending on deadlines

None of these feel ideal, especially when scaling across multiple languages.

Curious how others here handle this:

• Do you avoid embedding text in visuals altogether?
• Maintain separate source files for every asset?
• Or have a better workflow for adapting those elements?

Feels like a small thing, but it adds up quickly in real projects.

Working on a self-hosted setup and ran into an interesting gap around localization.Text content is straightforward enough to manage across languages — but image assets are a different story.

Things like:

• Banners with embedded text
• Product visuals
• Marketing creatives

Right now the options seem to be:

• Storing separate versions per language (gets messy fast)
• Recreating/editing images manually
• Or just reusing the same visuals across all regions

None of these feel very scalable, especially when you’re trying to keep everything inside a self-hosted workflow.

Curious how others here are handling this with Nextcloud:

• Do you version images per language?
• Use any specific apps/workflows?
• Or just avoid embedding text in visuals altogether?

Would be interesting to see if there’s a clean way to manage this without breaking the simplicity of a self-hosted setup.

Working on multilingual campaigns recently, and I’ve noticed something odd.

We spend so much time translating:

• Landing page copy
• Ads
• Emails
• Even videos

But images?
They’re almost always left untouched.

Banners still have English text.
Product creatives aren’t adapted.
Social visuals stay the same across regions.

And the weird part is — it kind of breaks the entire experience.
Everything says “localized”… except what people actually look at first.

I get why it happens though:

• Recreating creatives for each language is slow
• Design bandwidth is limited
• Not easy to scale across markets

But I’m starting to feel like this is quietly hurting conversions more than we think.

Curious how others here handle it:

• Do you fully localize creatives?
• Only for top markets?
• Or just leave images as-is?
