To minimize the amount of work and errors, our translators also have to be good typesetters. If you already make comics or are very familiar with typesetting this wouldn’t be much of issue for you guys. For beginners take a look at text bubbles under typesetting at [link] Make sure all text fits within the bubble.

The trick to good typesetting is to pick the right size font and having breathing room (space around the text) in the bubble. Don’t want the text to feel claustrophobic; unless the character is going on a talking spree then it works better that way. It also depends on the language, as some languages have longer words and will have a harder time fitting within the bubble, so use your best judgment. Mayshing’s bubbles are generally more vertical so it might be a bit more difficult for roman-letter based languages compared to the vertical Asian languages. So either make the font smaller (but still readable so we don't have to squint), or consider changing your translation to something more simple.

That’s all the advice I can give, so good luck and thanks for the help!
