LQA importance + issue categorization
In a previous post, we discussed LQA testing and the different approaches teams can take to cover it. However, we didn’t touch upon its importance or the categorization of issues. Let’s talk about it!

Visual testing – a new approach to LQA?
In today’s post, I want to focus on one of the most expensive areas of the localization process that ensures the quality delivered to our end users: linguistic quality assurance (LQA).

Use of metadata in conjunction with LLMs to improve MT output
During our time off this summer, I’ve been diving into upcoming trends in the LLM (Large Language Models) space and how they’re gradually approaching MT (Machine Translation) quality. However, one aspect that surprises me is the lack of discussion around using metadata in translation resources to enhance MT/LLM output.

Key considerations when generating data models
When talking about localization, one key aspect that is usually overlooked is whether internationalization/localization needs to be taken into consideration when generating data models.

How to generate a first class resource file: usage of URLs, user names and addresses
With this post, we are wrapping up our series on how to generate a first-class resource file. We will go over different challenges that we can find when URLs, user names, and addresses are used in the UI, focusing on how often they are used in the resource files.

How to generate a first class resource file: usage of placeholders and instructions
Today we will talk about the implications and the preparation that proper placeholders and instructions require to ensure information is properly parsed and mistranslations are avoided.

How to generate a first class resource file: usage of numbers, dates and currencies
In our previous post, we discussed how naming the keys for our strings can improve the quality of our product internationally. In this post, we will continue exploring best practices in the usage of numbers, dates, and currencies.

How to generate a first class resource file: naming keys
When we talk about localizing content, we usually tend to assume that we just need the source content (normally English) to be translated into the target languages. While this assumption is fine for documentation content, it is not suitable for product UI content.

Shorten localization turnaround time using connectors at design level
In a previous post, I talked about how connectors with design tools (for example, Figma) can be a great ally for the localization team and create truly global experiences for customers. These connectors can help teams reduce the turnaround time of the translation process. Let’s dig a bit into that!

Use of connectors at design level
Today I want to talk about how connecting your Translation Management Systems (TMSs) with the designing tools can drastically improve the localized versions, allowing designers and developers to spot possible issues much earlier in the development cycle making it much cheaper and efficient.
