Issues In Multilingual Typesetting: A Cases Study Across Chinese, Korean, Japanese, And English Texts

This thesis explores the challenges and innovations in multilingual typesetting, focusing on Chinese, Korean, Japanese, and English. Through qualitative research, including interviews and literature reviews, it delves into the evolution, current trends, and future of typographic design across these languages. It highlights how cultural, social, and technological factors influence typesetting, emphasizing the need for typographers to understand linguistic and cultural nuances. Despite technological progress simplifying some aspects, issues like script integrity, readability, and cultural respect remain. The research advocates for inclusive design practices to support global linguistic diversity in media. It showcases professionals' strategies for addressing these challenges, contributing to more effective, culturally sensitive typesetting methods. These findings are crucial for improving intercultural communication and advancing inclusive global communication strategies.
