## Choosing the story language

The story language is a setting at creation time, separate from the language you are browsing in. You can read the site in English and generate a book in Spanish, or the reverse. Pick the language the book will be *read aloud* in.

## Writing the prompt

Write the prompt in whichever language you are comfortable with — the AI understands the intent either way. If you want specific words or names to appear exactly as written, put them in the target language.

Names travel as-is. A child called Mia stays Mia in every language.

## Bilingual households

A common pattern is to generate the same story twice, once per language, using the same prompt, the same character, and the same art style. You end up with two matching books — one for each grandparent, or one for school and one for home.

## Right-to-left

Arabic books are laid out right-to-left, including page order and text alignment.

## What is not translated

Illustrations carry no text, which is deliberate — it is what makes the same book work in ten languages. Any words that appear in a picture are part of the illustration and are not translated.
