SOFTWARE LOCALIZATION · Workflow idea

Find missing strings and mark the gap clearly—without shipping placeholder language.

For a team authorized to handle the relevant information, compare approved application string files, list missing translations, and prepare placeholder changes for a code review. A missing string can change meaning across languages and placeholders are not finished translations; preserve source context, avoid exposing unreleased text, and require a fluent reviewer to approve changes before they ship. Explain relevant data use, collect only what is needed, and have a responsible person verify the source facts and approve the exact next step before anything is sent, published, or changed.

01 / The starting point

A clear request.
A useful direction.

A documented purpose, permitted source information, and an accountable reviewer

“Compare approved application string files, list missing translations, and prepare placeholder changes for a code review. Keep uncertain facts and consequential actions in draft until checked.”
An example request · Make it specific to your team.

02 / The work

5 tasks.
One useful outcome.

Compare approved application string files, list missing translations, and prepare placeholder changes for a code review.

  1. Confirm authority, purpose, and scope

    Check that the requester may use the source information and define exactly which records, people, and outcomes belong in this task.

  2. Prepare from approved source material

    Compare approved application string files, list missing translations, and prepare placeholder changes for a code review. Compare material details with their original records and preserve dates, context, and attribution.

  3. Protect privacy, consent, and rights

    A missing string can change meaning across languages and placeholders are not finished translations; preserve source context, avoid exposing unreleased text, and require a fluent reviewer to approve changes before they ship. Follow applicable notice, permission, source-use, access, retention, and opt-out requirements.

  4. Check accuracy and uncertainty

    Flag missing, conflicting, or inferred details; do not fill gaps with assumptions or present an estimate as a verified fact.

  5. Approve the exact next step

    Have an accountable person verify the final content, destination, recipients, and likely effect before a message is sent, a public item is posted, or a record is changed.

03 / The result

Something useful.
Something to build on.

A review-ready localization-gap changes result with source checks, appropriate privacy controls, and human approval status.

Keep in mind

A missing string can change meaning across languages and placeholders are not finished translations; preserve source context, avoid exposing unreleased text, and require a fluent reviewer to approve changes before they ship. Keep external delivery, public posting, record changes, deletion, and other consequential actions paused until an authorized person checks the exact content, target, and audience.

04 / Make it yours

Set the brief.
Set the standard.

A few choices shape the work around your team.

Document the permitted purpose

Name the authorized audience, allowed sources, requested outcome, and the person accountable for review.

Limit information and access

Collect only fields needed for the task, protect sensitive records, and set appropriate retention and deletion rules.

Set verification and exception rules

Define how source details are checked, how uncertainty is labeled, and when work must stop for a specialist.

Keep rights and consent visible

Record relevant permissions, attribution, contact preferences, and restrictions alongside the material they cover.

Require human approval before action

Test that sending, publishing, updating, deleting, purchasing, or access changes remain paused until an authorized person approves the exact action.
