AppText + Rich Formatting?

Hi- I’m in the middle of using AppText to translate my site to Spanish. I got two questions regarding this process:

1/ How do you guys navigate rich formatting (font sizes, colors, etc.) with AppText?

2/ Spanish as a language is a longer language than English (e.g., Spanish doesn’t have " 's" but uses “of” for possessive phrases), how do you guys manage the overall page space/formatting given the difference, so no scroll bar or a random second line appears due to the site being in a different language?

Talking off the top of my head but

You just paste the enriched text, i.e. text with [b][\b] tags and so on, in the Language tab, only chaging the plain text. Bubble will automatically interpret the enriched formatting when substituting the AppText version.
You either account for it by preparing a proper responsive behaviour of everything for slightly longer texts OR reword Spanish translations so they are shorter, even if you have to slightly change the message.
