Map the information
Defined content types, hierarchy and navigation before designing individual pages.
Case study / 02 · Multilingual web
One content structure. Three reading experiences.
An academic content platform designed across Japanese, English and Chinese, with consistent navigation and room to grow.
01 / THE CHALLENGE
What needed to change.
The project required more than three translated landing pages. Content relationships, navigation and reading patterns needed to stay coherent across languages.
02 / MY CONTRIBUTION
From requirements to delivery.
Design across languages
Accounted for differences in text length, typography and reading patterns.
Test across contexts
Reviewed responsive layouts, corresponding language pages and content discovery paths.
03 / DESIGN DECISIONS
Choices made for actual use.
A shared hierarchy
Make related academic content discoverable in every language.
Flexible layout components
Avoid designing around one fixed amount of text.
More than one path to content
Use navigation and contextual links to help readers find relevant material.
04 / OUTCOME
What this work delivered.
A multilingual foundation built around information structure and consistent user experience rather than direct visual duplication.
