Thai script rules
Thai has no spaces between words, so lines must break at word boundaries found with a dictionary, not at any character.
- Insert manual line breaks in headlines at word boundaries, because many tools break Thai mid-word.
- Stacked vowels and tone marks need a line height of about 1.4×.
Fonts: Noto Sans Thai, Sarabun or Prompt cover Thai; looped and loopless styles read differently, so match your app.
Thai-specific notes
- Thai has no spaces between words; add manual line breaks at word boundaries.
- Thai uses a space to mark a phrase boundary. Our layout engine rejected the first headline here until we added one (“สร้างนิสัย ที่ยั่งยืน”), because it will not break inside an unspaced run of text.
- Tone marks stack above vowels; give lines extra height.
How to make the Thai set in AppShotEditor
- Finish your source-language set first.
- Duplicate the project and name it with the locale code (th). AppShotEditor has no built-in translation, so paste in translated headlines yourself.
- Replace the screenshots with ones captured in Thai (on iOS: Simulator → Settings → Language).
- Check line breaks on every screen; adjust where a word splits badly.
- Export at the same sizes and upload them in the Thai localization.
