Horizontal (in-between character) spacing:

Values can be positive (clockwise) or negative (anti-clockwise). Unfortunately, here also the rotation gets crunched at editing the text. I often apply the same value to all the letters of a soundFX and shear the whole box or put the text on a path. Rotation of individual letters can be very useful to produce cascading effects. This type of data are generally lost while editing but can be edited back by selecting each letter and giving them a different size (eg. It convey the volume of the sound: fading, or increasing.

So here is a list of method you can apply to recover the effects: Resize letters one by one:Ī big classic (and the case in the visual above 'common issue') is when the onomatopoeia has different size for each letters. Unfortunately, some part of the text effects will be deleted by the editing and not look as it was on the source: You can always start by editing text as you would do by double clicking on it and type your translation. I had to find a compromise between having artistic onomatopoeia and something possible to edit. The result is anyway often very subjective and will be only here to show to the reader that a sound is important for the story and/or help their imagination to complete the missing soundtrack. Sometime it could be as simple as trying out the sound out loud with your mouth, and then using the phonology of your language. In case you find yourself having difficulty translating a sound: just trust your instincts provided by comics in your culture and use the spelling that sounds most right to you. Translating sound effects can be difficult. This page contains Inkscape tips, translation tips, and more tips to help you while translating Pepper&Carrot SVG files.
