Supporting non-Latin scripts like Bengali alongside English is far more involved than simply swapping dictionary keys. Differences in optical weight, line heights, and complex conjunct characters require deliberate CSS and typographic architecture.
Here is how we solved bilingual rendering across EquiSaaS Dokkho, AI Masterclass 2026, and our core web portfolio.

Typographic and Structural Strategies
- Dynamic Font-Family Stacks: Pairing high-legibility Bengali web fonts with clean geometric sans-serif Latin typography while normalizing relative line-height metrics to prevent clipping.
- Unicode Normalization: Ensuring Bengali vowel signs (kar) and conjunct characters (juktakkhor) undergo proper NFC Unicode normalization before DOM rendering.
- Responsive Layout Tolerance: Bengali sentences frequently expand by 15% to 25% in character count compared to English equivalents. Flexbox and CSS Grid wrappers must accommodate dynamic wrapping without overlapping sibling cards.
