This guide will break down the key differences between the original and translated versions, offering insights and tips to help you achieve the look you want. We'll be focusing on the feedback from issue #121, so buckle up and let's get started!

Understanding the cardsNoImages22 Block

The cardsNoImages22 block is designed to showcase information in a visually appealing card format. Think of it as a way to present key values, services, or features of your organization. In this specific scenario, we're looking at a section that displays seven core values, each with an icon, heading, and a brief description. The styling differences between the original and translated versions highlight how crucial design choices are in conveying the intended message and brand identity. We'll walk through these stylistic differences, exploring what makes them unique and how to control them.

Original vs. Translated: A Visual Overview

The original version features a grid layout with seven cards, arranged in two rows (4 on top, 3 below). Each card has a distinct pastel background, a colored icon at the top, a bold colored heading, and a concise descriptive paragraph. The spacing between the cards is moderate, creating a visually cohesive and structured layout.

In contrast, the translated version presents a more open and minimalistic design. The cards are larger and more spaced out, with a flex layout replacing the grid. The icons are missing, the headings are larger but less bold, and the body text is significantly larger and darker. The pastel backgrounds are lighter, contributing to a more neutral aesthetic. The overall impression is one of increased whitespace and a more modern, less cluttered appearance.

Key Styling Differences and How to Address Them

Let's break down the significant styling differences identified in the feedback and explore how to address them. This will give you a practical understanding of how to manipulate the styling of your cardsNoImages22 blocks.

1. Missing Icons: The Case of the Vanishing Visuals

Keywords: icons missing, visual identity, branding, value association

One of the most noticeable differences is the absence of icons in the translated version. In the original, each card featured a colored icon (e.g., thumbs-up, medal, shield) at the top, visually representing the core value being presented. These icons are crucial for quick identification and reinforcing the brand's message. The missing icons in the translated version significantly impact the visual identity of the cards. These visuals help with branding and value association. Without the icons, the cards lose a key element of their visual appeal and immediate recognition.

To address this, you'll need to ensure that the icon elements are present and properly styled in your translated version. This involves checking the HTML structure to confirm that the <i> tags (or equivalent icon elements) are included and that the CSS styles are correctly applied to display them. It's possible that the icons were either intentionally removed or inadvertently omitted during the translation process. If they were intentionally removed, you'll need to evaluate whether to reintroduce them to maintain visual consistency and branding. If they were inadvertently omitted, you simply need to add them back into the code. This involves ensuring the visual identity is restored. The use of icons is critical for strong branding, so ensuring they are present helps build value association with the content of each card.

Here's what you can do:

• Inspect the HTML: Check for the presence of the icon elements (<i> tags or similar). Ensure they haven't been accidentally deleted or commented out.
• Verify CSS Styles: Make sure the CSS styles responsible for displaying the icons are correctly applied. Look for styles that might be setting display: none or otherwise hiding the icons.
• Check Icon Font/Library: If you're using an icon font or library (like Font Awesome), ensure that it's properly linked and that the correct icon classes are being used.
• Consider Accessibility: If you're adding icons, remember to include appropriate aria-label attributes to provide screen readers with meaningful descriptions of the icons. This is vital to make the site user friendly and inclusive. Also consider the visuals, make sure they are accessible to everyone. A good design takes into account everyone's needs.

By restoring the icons, you'll be taking a significant step towards aligning the translated version with the original's visual identity and enhancing the overall user experience. The use of visuals and proper branding goes a long way.

2. Heading Styles: Boldness, Color, and Size Matters

Keywords: heading styles, font-size, font-weight, color, visual hierarchy

The headings in the translated version exhibit several key differences compared to the original. The font-size has increased from 20px to 24px, making the headings larger. However, the font-weight has decreased from semi-bold/bold to regular/normal, making them less prominent. Perhaps the most striking change is in the color. In the original, each heading had a distinct color corresponding to the value it represented (e.g., green for commitment, red for courage). In the translated version, most headings are dark gray/black, except for
