Digital business card displayed in multiple languages

In a global economy, your business card needs to speak your client's language. With Scaanme, your digital card automatically displays in the visitor's browser language, no manual switching needed. Arabic alone is spoken by over 400 million peopleover 400 million peoplehttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arabic_language across 22 countries, making proper RTL support essential for any Arab market presence.

The Language Challenge

Traditional business cards force you to choose one language. A bilingual card crams two languages into a tiny space. Neither option serves diverse audiences well.

How Multi-Language Cards Work

  1. Create your profile in your primary language
  2. Add translations for any of 45+ supported languages
  3. Visitors see their language automatically based on browser settings
  4. Language switcher available on every card for manual override

RTL Support

For Arabic, Hebrew, Urdu, and other RTL languages, Scaanme automatically:

  • Mirrors the entire layout direction
  • Adjusts text alignment
  • Applies appropriate font sizing (1.1x uplift for Arabic readability)
  • Handles mixed-direction content (LTR URLs in RTL text)
