EDITORIAL REVIEW · Workflow idea

Find translation gaps without treating a readiness score as proof that a guide is clear or correct.

For a team or individual with an authorized purpose, prepare a checklist of terminology, locale, and formatting questions for a fluent documentation reviewer. A score can miss cultural context, accessibility, and technical meaning, while documentation may have license or confidentiality limits. Use approved source files, preserve code identifiers and legal notices, protect unreleased product details, validate findings with fluent technical reviewers, and require documentation owners to approve the localized release. Use only information the requester may access, explain personal-data use and retention, verify source details and rights, and keep external or consequential actions under human approval.
