Um, the topic is probably confusing Apologies.
Question is rather simple though. I'm designing the cover for my fantasy novel, it's set in a different world so obviously they don't speak English there. On the cover there's a neon light above a shop. It says something. Question is - do I write it in English or some gibberish signs?
On one hand it could be a 'translation' like all of the actual text. On the other it's a visual representation so it could be literal 'snapshot' of how it looks like there.
I don't think there's wrong or right here, no, but I'd like to know which option is simply better
Thanks!
