One of the most exciting aspects of localizing Tumblr has been dealing with images that contain text.  As I am only fluent in English, this presents an interesting problem—are the buttons legible (or pretty, for that matter) in other languages?  If you speak Japanese and are familiar with graphic design and typography, please contact support. I’d love some advice on font choices, kerning, and anything else I should know.

These translations are not final. If you would like to participate in the Japanese beta, please email nihongo@tumblr.com
