Localising ecommerce imagery for the Middle East without duplicating production

Regional localisation is easier when the core product image and market-specific overlays are separate assets. A structured workflow can create English and Arabic variants while preserving one approved product master.

01

Keep language outside the retouched master

Approve the product, colour and cleanup before applying badges, dimensions or promotional text. This lets multiple language layouts inherit the same product decision.

02

Plan for right-to-left composition

Arabic is not a text swap inside a left-to-right layout. Space, reading order, alignment and the relationship between copy and product need an intentional RTL template.

03

Route regional approval clearly

Assign language, brand and commerce reviewers separately when needed. Their comments should remain attached to the specific locale output rather than changing the shared master accidentally.

PRACTICAL ANSWERS

Questions teams ask before production.

01Can machine translation approve campaign copy?

It can assist drafting, but customer-facing claims should be reviewed by a qualified regional reviewer.

02Do all GCC markets use one asset?

Brand systems can be shared, but legal, language and marketplace requirements may differ.

03Can pricing be shown locally?

Rupato provides AED and SAR rate cards for supported Middle East workspaces.
