Build your localization management.

How to build your localization management

1. 1

   Describe the job

   Keep translations tied to the source-string version and release they belong to.

2. 2

   Review the first version

   Choose how the translator records the source string and how the locale reviewer reviews the next step.

3. 3

   Refine the views

   Ask First to adjust the fields and views for the people who will use the app.

4. 4

   Test before sharing

   Walk through the process with a sample record and check who owns the next action.

What to include in your localization management

• Keep the source string in context

  Keep source string, source version, locale, translation, reviewer and release together so the next person can understand the request or record.

• When the next step needs a decision

  A translation is approved before the source text changes. Keep its approval tied to the old source and request review for the new version.

• Keep release visible

  Reopen the translation when its source text changes after review.

• Choose what each person needs

  Give the translator a working view and the locale reviewer a review view. Keep source string and source version attached to the decision as the work moves between them.
