Strings and interface context
Menu commands, validation errors, onboarding, permissions and notifications must be understood in their screen and user-flow context. Supply screenshots or annotated string resources when possible.
What to watch: The same verb may require different wording in a button and a system warning.
Final review: Review truncation, placeholders, keyboard labels and context consistency.
Protected technical tokens
Resource keys, variables, substitution markers, code fragments and HTML tags need protected handling. Translatable labels must be separated from syntax and identifiers.
What to watch: A missing placeholder may break an interface even when the prose reads correctly.
Final review: Test parameter order, escaping, encoding and interpolation after integration.
Right-to-left experiences
Arabic localization requires checking navigation order, mixed-direction strings, numerals, dates, icon meaning and embedded Latin identifiers. Mirroring is not universal.
What to watch: A valid RTL document declaration does not guarantee a usable RTL interface.
Final review: Inspect representative screens on actual mobile and desktop widths.
Release and regression workflow
Versioned strings, glossary decisions and developer feedback should be tracked so updated releases do not reintroduce earlier defects.
What to watch: Localization quality must be checked in the running interface.
Final review: Verify changed screens, fallback language, missing keys and user journeys before release.
