format
the arrangement or layout; a TV programme template
⚠️ The trap
Italians use 'format' (pronounced as in English) for TV show formats and sometimes file formats. The native Italian word for size/format is 'formato'. Both forms coexist and the media industry prefers the borrowed English form.
To say "the arrangement or layout; a TV programme template" in Italian:
formato (technical/size); format (borrowed, media use)
"format" in English means:
(borrowed) a TV show format; also a computer file format
Example
"Questo format televisivo ha avuto un grande successo."
"This TV format has been a great success."
