How long does Chinese (Simplified) copy run?
Running text
10-30% shorter than the English source (width)
Simplified Chinese sets far fewer characters per headline, so the text can look lost in a box sized for English — and the glyph height is usually larger.
Screenshot headlines
Screenshot copy is a short string, and short strings swing hardest: published figures put a translation of a source under 10 characters at 200-300% of its length, falling to about 130% once the source runs past 70 characters.
