Correct grammar does not mean your translation is production-ready: how to unit-test your text

LanguageOps has built automated checks into its translation editor to catch mechanical formatting errors such as misformatted placeholders like `$0` and `{name}` before reviewers see them, according to the company's guidance for developers and localization newcomers. The company states these rule-based checks require no LLM use and can be run quickly to prevent repeated errors across languages and projects, and that linguists or project managers can run, filter and resolve them in the editor. The post warns that grammatically correct LLM translation output is not by itself production-ready.

This post is aimed at developers and people new to localisation who might be tempted to think an LLM’s output is perfect. At LanguageOps we have automated processes that check for:

$0, {name} are correctly formatted. These are usually mechanical checks which require no LLM use and can be run quickly with a fixed set of rules, to save your reviewers falling into these repeated traps across languages and projects. Whole QA software products exist to prevent these leaking into translations - we’ve built them in to the editor for linguists or PMs to quickly run, filter and resolve.
