What Is Layout-Preserving Translation?
These prompts translate a menu or notice into another language while keeping the original design untouched. Font size, colors, and photo placement stay the same as the original; only the text changes.
Where You'll Use It
- Translating a menu photographed on a trip into Korean
- Making an English or Chinese version of a store menu for foreign guests
- Creating another-language version of signage or notices
- Extending a presentation or flyer into another language with the same design
- Swapping packaging or label text into another language
Why This Tag Is Useful
Translation tools usually swap the text but leave you to rebuild the design. This approach reads the original image's layout, colors, and photo placement, then replaces only the text naturally, so you don't have to redesign anything from scratch.
Tips for Crafting Prompts
- Upload the original image and say "keep this exact layout."
- Specify the target language precisely.
- Flag any brand names or proper nouns that shouldn't be translated.
- Mention it explicitly if you want photos or icons left untouched while only the text changes.
A single menu photo is often enough to see a translated version that keeps the original feel.
