Go Up to Localization Considerations in UI Design


Ideally, you should use images that do not require translation. Most obviously, this means that graphic images should not include text, which will always require translation. If you must include a text in your images, it is a good idea to use a label object with a transparent background over an image rather than including the text as the part of the image.

Creating graphic images, try to avoid images that are specific to a particular culture. For example, mailboxes in different countries look very different from each other. Religious symbols are not appropriate if your application is intended for countries that have different dominant religions. Even color can have different symbolic connotations in different cultures.
