Multilingual QA Gate (QA)

Multilingual QA Gate (QA)

1. 01

   Verify source string extraction covers all user-facing text

   Confirm that every UI string, error message, and marketing asset is pulled into the translation management system, not just the main navigation and buttons.

2. 02

   Run automated checks for placeholder and variable integrity

   Use the platform's linting or QA features to ensure that placeholders like %s or {name} are preserved in every translated string, preventing runtime errors in the client's product.

3. 03

   Review translations for context and tone consistency

   Spot-check a sample of strings in each language against the source to catch literal translations that miss cultural nuance or brand voice, especially for marketing copy.

4. 04

   Validate rendering in the target environment

   Load the localized site or app in a staging environment to check for text overflow, broken layouts, and proper support for right-to-left languages if applicable.

5. 05

   Confirm glossary and style guide adherence

   Ensure that approved terminology and style rules were applied across all languages, flagging any deviations for correction before delivery.

6. 06

   Test key user flows in each language

   Walk through critical paths like checkout, signup, and search in at least two languages to catch functional issues caused by translation, such as broken links or misdirected forms.

7. 07

   Document QA results and sign off for delivery

   Compile a QA report listing passed checks and any residual issues, then obtain client approval before the localized content goes live.
