QA notes-Missed translations or corrupted characters

As a Project Manager (PM below), we should check and review the files received from the editors to make sure the files which will be sent to the client perfect and satisfied. QA process should be involved in the checking and reviewing by using QA distiller, Xbench, etc. There are some aspects we should pay attention to during the checking.

Missing or disordered translation

The words right after a symbol such as arrow at the end of a sentence is often omitted or out of sequence in translation. Be careful not to omit the words or change the order of these kinds of words in the translation.

Untranslated text (missed translation)

Conjunctions such as “and” and “or” are not translated or often left as English in translation. Be careful not to miss these conjunctions in the translated text.

Corrupted characters

Some characters, especially in RTL languages, are corrupted in the target files. It might have occurred during the conversion process. So we should review and double-check the translated texts before handing off to the client in order to avoid any corrupted characters left in the final files.

To sum up, we should make sure the deliverables as accurate and correct as possible, avoiding any lowe mistakes or obvious errors.
