-
All possible errors are investigated and each case is checked individually in pre-production. If an error is discovered, the source code is modified to eliminate it.
-
Often the translator and proofreader find that they lack context when working with software content and their language choices are conditioned by this. In this second testing stage the language professional revises the work, ensuring that the final product is coherent and makes sense.

Frequently Asked Questions
-
What does linguistic testing involve?
Linguistic testing involves a comprehensive review of the final content to ensure linguistic accuracy and cultural appropriateness for the target language and audience. A team of native linguists and language experts verifies that all the elements have been translated correctly and that the quality of the resulting text is up to grammatical and style criteria, and that it also allows the application to function correctly – ensuring the user experience is consistent and error-free.
At Seprotec linguistic testers analyze real or simulated devices in screenshot mode to identify bugs, which are then reported. Throughout the testing process, localization test engineers collaborate closely with linguistic testers to address any issues related to the content’s usability and functionality that may arise.
In software development, a common issue is the occurrence of truncations and overlap in the graphical user interface (GUI) due to longer translations. If this occurs, linguistic testers work with localization engineers to ensure the new translations fit properly within the GUI. If necessary, adjustments are made to shorten the translations while preserving the intended meaning.
Once all necessary adjustments have been made, the team proceeds to bug regression testing to confirm that the identified errors from the initial linguistic testing have been resolved. -
What are the benefits of linguistic testing?
Linguistic testing is an essential aspect for any global company looking to communicate effectively with a wide range of client base. By dedicating a team of linguists to perform linguistics testing, businesses can ensure the highest accuracy and correctness of their communication.

What is the difference between localization and linguistic testing?
Linguistic testing is often used to verify the accuracy of plain text content, such as a corporate website, an email, bidding documents, or an instruction manual. When the focus is on localization, there is more effectiveness in terms of legislative compliance, functionality, and alignment with local customs.
If contextualization is not assessed, the expected targets may not be met, even if the messages are free of spelling, grammar, punctuation, and style mistakes, are properly formatted, and use the right terminology.
Localization testing includes checking correct functionality, design, and customization according to local specifications, as well as compliance with display and user interface standards, etc. It also checks that the program has been internationalized correctly with no problems with extended characters, alphabetical order, fonts, etc. In other words, this process is intended for more complex products with a wide variety of functionalities, such as computer software, web applications, games, etc.
