Running campaigns in Arabic, Hebrew, Japanese or Thai means your designs must display other alphabets correctly. Abyssale renders right-to-left and non-Latin scripts in every generation method. This article explains what is automatic and what you set yourself.
DRAFT NOTE: add screenshot render-rtl-cjk-grid.jpg (screens/) here — Arabic, Hebrew, Japanese, Korean, Chinese and Thai renders.
Right-to-left languages (Arabic, Hebrew, Persian, Urdu)
What is automatic
Letters are joined and shaped correctly.
Words are displayed from right to left, including when the text contains a Latin word such as a brand name (for example "العودة إلى المدرسة مع Kube").
What you set yourself: alignment
Text alignment is not flipped automatically. A text layer aligned to the left stays aligned to the left when it receives Arabic or Hebrew text.
Select the text layer in the Design Builder.
Set the text alignment to right.
Check the position of the other layers (logo, button) for a right-to-left reading order.
Tip: If you run the same campaign in left-to-right and right-to-left languages, keep a dedicated design (or format) for right-to-left markets, aligned to the right.
Japanese, Chinese, Korean, Thai and other scripts
These scripts are displayed correctly. If the font of your text layer doesn't contain some characters, Abyssale displays them with a fallback font, so no character is missing from your visual.
The fallback font may not match your brand style. To control the look, choose a font that covers the alphabet you use, for example:
Alphabet | Fonts available in Abyssale |
Arabic | Cairo, IBM Plex Sans Arabic |
Hebrew | IBM Plex Sans Hebrew |
Japanese | IBM Plex Sans JP |
Korean | IBM Plex Sans KR |
Chinese | ZCOOL KuaiLe |
Thai | IBM Plex Sans Thai |
You can also upload your own brand font in each alphabet: custom fonts are available on all plans. See How to Add and Manage Custom Fonts.
Translate your texts
To produce these languages from an existing campaign, use AI Translation in the Spreadsheet (Pro plan and above, no AI credits used).
🧾 Things to note
Translated texts are often longer or shorter than the original. Use Text Auto Resize so they fit their box.
The Typewriting animation also works on Arabic and Hebrew text.
Always review one visual per language before generating a whole batch.
