    Generating in another language, properly

    Short answer

    Output language is set per generation across eighty-one options and is independent of the interface language, so one campaign can produce English ads and Spanish social posts without starting again.

    Two different language settings exist and confusing them causes a predictable half-hour of frustration.

    Interface language is what the app itself is in, chosen in the switcher.

    Output language is what your generated marketing is written in, chosen per generation, across eighty-one options.

    They are independent. You can run the app in English and generate Portuguese ads, which is exactly what most agencies need.

    Setting it

    Output language sits alongside the creativity level when you create a campaign, and can be chosen per generation afterwards. So one campaign can produce a German email sequence and Spanish social posts without duplicating anything.

    What this is and is not

    The output is written in the target language rather than translated into it. That distinction matters: a translated English headline is usually a stiff foreign headline, because idiom does not survive the trip.

    What it cannot do is know the local market. Search behaviour, the words buyers use, seasonal timing and the competitive set all differ by country, and none of that comes from a language setting.

    If the market matters, run research for that market. A brief and research grounded in the local landscape produce local copy; a language toggle produces correct grammar.

    Practical notes

    Character limits. Ad platform limits are counted in characters, and languages compress differently. German runs long, and where Google halves its limits for double-width scripts, the counts shown in Aiter are still the Latin numbers, so check the length of anything generated in Chinese, Japanese or Korean before uploading.

    Formality. Languages with a formal and informal register need a consistent choice. Pick one and hold it across a campaign, because mixing them is the tell that reads as machine translation.

    Names and claims. Product names, legal claims and guarantees should be checked by someone who reads the language, whatever tool produced them.

    Frequently asked questions

    Does changing the interface language change my output?

    No. They are separate settings and neither affects the other.

    Can one campaign hold several output languages?

    Yes. Language is chosen per generation, so a single campaign can carry assets in several.

    Is the quality even across all eighty-one?

    Widely spoken languages have more material behind them and come out stronger. For a smaller language, a native read before publishing is worth the ten minutes.
