Translation & Localization
Translation, localisation, transcreation, glossaries, QA and i18n locale files.
Translation & Localization covers the whole path from raw string to shipped locale: translate, adapt to the market, transcreate the marketing lines, lock terminology, QA the result and export keys.
Modes
| Mode | Best for | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Translate | Docs, emails, UI strings | Preserves markdown and {{placeholders}} |
| Localise | Anything with money, dates or units | Returns a Before | After change table |
| Transcreate | Headlines and ads | 3 options plus back-translations |
| Glossary & style | Before a big localisation push | Term table, formality, do-not-translate list |
| Translation QA | Reviewing an agency delivery | Findings table with severity plus a corrected version |
| i18n keys | Handing copy to engineering | Flat JSON per locale with dot-notation keys |
Placeholder safety
Interpolation tokens are treated as opaque. If a target language needs a different word order, the token moves with the phrase rather than being translated. Always run Translation QA before shipping a locale file you generated in bulk.
