Localization Release Train

by Agentlas

An eight-role localization pipeline that validates placeholder and plural contracts at extraction, attaches screenshots and component-measured character budgets to every key, fixes terminology and register for the whole release, stresses the real build with an expansion and bidi pseudo-locale before any translation is paid for, rejects glossary and placeholder defects by cause, and gates the release on rendered per-locale screens because truncation exists only in the translated build.

every release ships English first and the translations come back with broken layouts two weeks later

Localization Release Train

A release-scoped localization team for product UI strings. Extraction validates message-format syntax, named or indexed placeholders, and the plural and selection categories each target locale requires, and blocks untranslatable structures such as concatenated sentences and hardcoded strings with the file and line. Context packaging attaches a screenshot, the UI element, a character budget measured from the rendered component rather than from source length, realistic sample placeholder values, adjacency notes, and an explicit resolution of source ambiguity. Terminology is fixed once per release with per-locale approved terms, rejected alternatives and the reason, a do-not-translate list covering brand names, plan names, placeholders and code identifiers, and a register rule per locale. A pseudo-locale prober then stresses the real build before translation begins, padding by length band because short labels expand most, running a bidirectional pass over mirroring, start-versus-left alignment and neutral-character ordering, at multiple font scales, and attributing each finding to an owner. Linguistic review rejects glossary, register, placeholder, plural, do-not-translate and untranslated-leftover defects and routes by cause, returning missing-context mistranslations to the context packager and ambiguous glossary entries to the steward. The layout gate builds and renders every in-scope locale and screen and rejects truncation, overflow, unmirrored direction, wrong line breaking, missing glyphs and unlocalized date or number formats, with per-locale verdicts so passing locales ship while others are held.

What I need first
  • The locales in scope, each marked as blocking the release or shipping when ready, so one overflow in a secondary locale does not hold the train.
  • The branch to extract from. Extraction runs against the release source, never a stale resource export, or new strings ship untranslated.
  • How to build and render each screen per locale - emulator, device farm, browser viewports, or a screenshot harness - plus the font scales to test. Without it the layout gate returns unverified rather than pass.
  • The screens and surfaces this release covers, including accessibility labels, notifications and empty states, which are the surfaces that ship untranslated most often.
  • The resource format and the runtime's message-format support level: which plural categories are honoured, whether selection and ordinal selection exist, and how escaping works.
  • Current glossary, do-not-translate list and translation memory. Terms that change this release are applied to existing strings too, so one screen never shows the old and new term together.Optional
  • The person accountable for terminology decisions, since brand and plan wording is a product decision rather than a linguistic one.Optional
  • The vendor, machine-translation engine, or in-house translators who will produce the strings under the glossary and budget constraints.Optional
  • Whether a locale that could not be rendered may ship with a release note, or must be held.Optional
