MADE FOR THE WORK IN BETWEEN↗
THE FRICTION
A translated string looks correct in a spreadsheet but becomes ambiguous or too long in the interface. By the time a reviewer sees the screen, the source copy may have changed again.
THE PRODUCT WE’RE EXPLORING
LocaleLens, in three parts.
LocaleLens would connect a source string, its current screen context, and reviewer feedback. The first pilot would start with imported string files and manually supplied screenshots.
Three planned capabilities we want to validate with early users.
02 / PLANNED
Terminology and placeholders
Proposed checks would flag glossary inconsistencies and changed variables for a reviewer to inspect.
03 / PLANNED
Sign-off for the current version
Planned approval would be tied to the specific source text and translation, with edits returning it to review.
AN INTENDED WORKFLOW
A clearer next step.
Less work around it.

Manage your data ↗GOOD TO KNOW
A few useful answers.
Can I translate a file now?
No. LocaleLens is a research waitlist. File imports, translation suggestions, checks, and reviewer workspaces are not available.
Will automated checks guarantee good translations?
No. Meaning, tone, grammar, and cultural context require qualified human review. Technical checks can only flag selected issues.
Will it connect to my repository or design files?
No integration is active. The first pilot would evaluate manual imports before choosing any account connections.
