THE PROBLEM
I can design a website or app so everything fits neatly in English, then discover later that the layout breaks when the same text is translated.
Some languages use much longer words or phrases. A button that looked fine can suddenly be too small, menu text can wrap onto another line or a box can overflow and push everything else out of place.
I often do not see these problems until the translations have already been added. I would like to know earlier which parts of the design are likely to cause trouble.
02
Why IT MATTERS
If I find the problem late, I may have to change the design or code again across several languages. It can also make the translated version look broken or hide important information from users.

what people currently do
Families search directories and review sites, ask local authorities or charities for advice, visit multiple homes and keep their own notes or comparison spreadsheets.
