What are localization quality checks?
Quality checks are automated rules that compare source and target content to identify issues before localized files are released. They can flag missing placeholders, changed markup, incorrect spacing, length discrepancies, empty targets, duplicates, and terminology issues.
In LingoHub, these checks are part of the localization workflow, giving translators and reviewers a clear view of issues that need attention before content moves forward.

01
Placeholders quality check
Check that placeholders remain intact between source and target content and flag missing or changed placeholders.
02
ICU quality check
Check ICU messages for issues that could affect how localized content is displayed or processed.
03
Tag quality check
Check that required tags remain intact between source and target content.
04
Length quality check
Check translations against defined length limits to keep localized content within the requirements of your interface.

06
Glossary quality check
Check translations against your glossary and flag terminology that does not follow your defined product language.
LINA, the AI inside LingoHub, checks each translation it writes against the QA rules you set: placeholders, HTML tags, length limits, glossary terms, locale formats and more. As a Translator, LINA translates and pre-checks, and your team approves. As an Agent, LINA approves segments that pass, retranslates a failed one up to 3 times, and marks it Blocked if it still fails.
Draft with your project context
LINA translates eligible content using your glossary, translation memory, style guide, and available context.
Check against your QA rules
Run checks for placeholders, ICU, tags, length, empty targets, glossary misses, and more as content moves through the workflow.
Retry, then hand off
When a segment fails a check, LINA as an Agent translates it again, up to 3 times, using feedback from earlier attempts. If it still fails, LINA marks it Blocked so a team member can step in.

Got questions? We have the answers.
How do LingoHub quality checks help prevent technical bugs in my application?
Quality checks identify invalid placeholders and mismatched HTML markup before deployment, reducing software bugs caused by missing or extra variables. This ensures your translations are release-ready and do not break your software’s functional code.
Can LingoHub automatically fix common formatting mistakes?
Yes, the “Auto-correct” feature instantly detects and resolves inconsistencies such as punctuation errors or extra spaces. This reduces the manual review workload for managers and speeds up the entire approval cycle.
How do I ensure translated text fits within my UI elements?
You can customize length quality checks by setting character limits for specific components, such as buttons, headers, or pop-ups. The system provides immediate warnings if a translation exceeds these limits, preventing layout issues in your production environment.
Which quality checks can LINA run automatically?
You pick them per LINA in its QA settings. They cover minimum and maximum length, extra spaces and line breaks, missing or extra placeholders and HTML tags, required and not-recommended glossary terms, text left untranslated, quotation marks, date, time and number formats for the target locale, punctuation, end characters and duplicate words.
Does a person still approve translations LINA checks?
You decide per target language. With LINA as Translator, it translates and pre-checks segments, and a team member approves them. With LINA as Agent, segments that pass your checks are approved automatically, and your team only steps in on the ones LINA marks Blocked.
