How to Use a Different Font on Translated Versions
You might want your translated pages to appear more native, not just in language but in look and feel too. One effective way is by assigning fonts that better suit the script of that language — for example, using a Devanagari-supporting font for Hindi or a more stylistic typeface for Arabic.
MultiLipi allows you to assign custom Google Fonts to each language translation to ensure visual consistency and readability across languages.
Why Use a Different Font per Language?
-
Better Script Support: Fonts like Noto Sans Arabicनहीं तो Baloo 2 for Hindi ensure proper rendering.
-
Enhanced Design Consistency: Typography aligned with cultural expectations builds trust.
- Improved SEO + UX: Well-rendered fonts lower bounce rates on translated versions.

1. Select your Font and Style on Google Fonts

On the new tab, you can see the different styles applied to the font selected:
To have this font on your translated website, you first need to click on the "Get font" button in the top-right.
After that, you can use the "Get embed code" option:
On this new page, you can select several styles via the panel on the left.
On the panel on the right, select "Web" and "@import" instead of "link."
