TRANSLATION REVIEW · Workflow idea
For text an organization is permitted to translate, prepare a draft in the requested language and keep the original alongside it. Check whether the content includes personal or confidential information before sending it for translation, flag idioms and uncertain passages, and require a fluent person to verify important or customer-facing text before it is shared.
01 / The starting point
Text supplied by an owner who may request translation
“Prepare a readable translation draft without exposing sensitive content or presenting uncertain wording as final.”
02 / The work
Helps teams prepare text in another language for review and use.
Check that the source owner permits translation for the stated audience.
Remove or protect details that are not needed for the translation.
Keep the original text and note any phrase that may have more than one meaning.
Have a fluent reviewer compare important details against the source.
Require the content owner to confirm the final language and audience.
03 / The result
A side-by-side translation draft with source context and reviewer approval status.
Reviews & approvals · Example outcome
A side-by-side translation draft with source context and reviewer approval status.
A translation may change tone, legal meaning, or important instructions. Minimize personal data, keep the source available for comparison, and have a fluent reviewer approve high-impact or public-facing language before use.

A few choices shape the work around your team.
Limit requests to content and language pairs approved by the organization.
Minimize sensitive text and use only approved handling and storage practices.
Document preferred terms, names, tone, and formatting expectations.
