# Use locale-neutral images and provide cultural overrides when needed

Images that feel natural in one culture can be confusing or offensive in another — a thumbs-up is a vulgar gesture in parts of the Middle East and West Africa, and a checkmark means "wrong" in Japan. Choosing neutral visuals by default and providing targeted overrides avoids unintentional offence and keeps the image management surface small.

## Quick Reference

- Hand gestures, colors, and common symbols carry different meanings across cultures
- Prefer abstract or universally understood icons as the default
- When locale-specific images are required use a lookup map with a neutral fallback
- Never embed text inside images — it cannot be translated or resized

## Check

Identify image assets, SVG icons, and illustration components that use hand gestures, color symbolism, animals, or religious imagery that may carry different meanings across cultures or locales.
