Google provides translated versions of the Advertising Policies Help Center, though they're not meant to change the content of the policies. The English version is the official language used to enforce Google Ads policies. To view this article in a different language, use the language dropdown at the bottom of the page.
Google requires that all ads, assets, and destinations meet certain technical requirements to make sure your ads are useful, appealing and engaging to users. Ads must be clear, functional, and lead to content that is relevant and easy to interact with.
