Situational: You receive a last-minute scope change: the client requests translated versions for three languages that impact layout (longer strings) and you have 48 hours. How do you handle it?

Sample Answer

Situation: With 48 hours left before launch, a client requested translations into German, Spanish, and French which would affect copy length and layout. Task: Deliver localized artwork without delaying launch. Action: I triaged by identifying the assets impacted and prioritized high-visibility pieces. I created flexible layouts with auto-sizing text styles and increased container constraints to accommodate longer strings, and swapped fixed-width type settings for scalable type using variable font settings where possible. I coordinated with the localization team to get in-context translations and asked for translation memory to prevent rework. I automated batch exports using scripts and set up a rapid review in a shared Figma file for native reviewers to flag truncation. I also allowed selective copy edits to shorten non-critical labels. Result: We delivered all localized assets within 36 hours, maintained legibility and brand integrity, and the localized campaigns launched on schedule; localized open rates increased by an average of 9% compared to previous non-localized sends.
