Week 13: Multilingual Infographics

 After reading the article, I found it extremely interesting that this could even be done in the first place. It was super cool to see how using layers in programs like photoshop or even procreate allows artists and creators to so easily translate different words and phrases and I think this is a super beneficial tool also. 

When it comes to an infographic, I think this tool could be super helpful. If you think about all the different brands, companies, and corporations that are all around the world, a lot of them are in areas that speak and read in a different language and being able to have one message in multiple languages can be a huge benefit as well as cost/time saver. The only downside I would say this comes with is if you are not a person who speaks another language fluently or fully understands how to read in a different language, translations may not be fully accurate or become confusing to people at times which can be a huge downfall if you are trying to display information to large groups of people. Ultimately you or your company might have to end up spending money on a translator either way. 

All in all I think this ability and tool is a huge benefit to companies and individuals all around and I think it will play a major role in the production of multilingual infographics as well as help people who do not fully understand another language.
