EDITORIAL REVIEW · Workflow idea

Adapt content for another language without changing its meaning, rights, or required disclosures.

For work involving approved source copy, translated versions, and locale-specific wording, confirm permission and scope before taking the next step. Prepare translated and localized drafts for fluent reviewers to compare with the approved original. Translation can change legal, cultural, product, or safety meaning, and source copy may not be cleared for adaptation. Confirm translation rights, preserve approved claims and disclosures, protect unpublished material, have a fluent subject-aware reviewer check each version, and require an editor to approve it before release.
