# Glyph-ByT5-v2: A Strong Aesthetic Baseline for Accurate Multilingual Visual Text Rendering

We introduce **Glyph-ByT5-v2**, a customized text encoder for accurate **multilingual** visual text rendering and improved aesthetics. 
As an extension of **Glyph-SDXL**, our multilingual version supports visual text rendering for up to 10 different languages: English, Chinese, Japanese, Korean, French, German, Spanish, Italian, Portuguese and Russian. 
Combined with SDXL, our proposed **Glyph-SDXL-v2** achieves accurate multilingual design image visual text rendering.
