What are localization quality checks?

Quality checks are automated rules that compare source and target content to identify issues before localized files are released. They can flag missing placeholders, changed markup, incorrect spacing, length discrepancies, empty targets, duplicates, and terminology issues.

In LingoHub, these checks are part of the localization workflow, giving translators and reviewers a clear view of issues that need attention before content moves forward.

Everything you need to know about quality checks in LingoHub

Got questions? We have the answers.

How do LingoHub quality checks help prevent technical bugs in my application?

Expand FAQ-entry Icon

Quality checks identify invalid placeholders and mismatched HTML markup before deployment, reducing software bugs caused by missing or extra variables. This ensures your translations are release-ready and do not break your software’s functional code.

Can LingoHub automatically fix common formatting mistakes?

Expand FAQ-entry Icon

Yes, the “Auto-correct” feature instantly detects and resolves inconsistencies such as punctuation errors or extra spaces. This reduces the manual review workload for managers and speeds up the entire approval cycle.

How do I ensure translated text fits within my UI elements?

Expand FAQ-entry Icon

You can customize length quality checks by setting character limits for specific components, such as buttons, headers, or pop-ups. The system provides immediate warnings if a translation exceeds these limits, preventing layout issues in your production environment.
