Why designers still use Latin

Because it is unreadable in a useful way. Placeholder text in English gets read — a reviewer starts editing the copy instead of judging the layout, and a stakeholder assumes the words are final. Lorem ipsum has roughly the word-length distribution and texture of Latin-script prose without carrying meaning, so attention stays on typography and spacing where it belongs during a layout review.

Set the length honestly

The most common mistake is generating a tidy amount. Real content is uneven: one product has a two-line description, the next has nine. Generate the longest plausible case and the shortest, and check the layout survives both — a design tested only against neat paragraphs breaks the first week it meets real copy.

Common questions

Where does lorem ipsum come from?

It is scrambled Latin derived from Cicero's De Finibus Bonorum et Malorum, in use by typesetters since the sixteenth century.

Should I use English placeholder text instead?

Only if you want reviewers reading the words. Latin keeps attention on the layout, which is usually the point during a design review.

Is the text generated locally?

Yes. It is assembled in the page; nothing is fetched or sent.
