The short answer
Use qualified language review for meaning and audience fit where needed. Matching paragraph counts alone does not establish accuracy.
Practical workflow
Provide approved source, glossary, context and use. Check names, negation, quantities, ambiguity and constraints. Mark machine-assisted passages and unresolved choices. Separate adaptation from literal reference translation. Keep originals accessible and identify which language decisions need a specialist rather than guessing.
What a useful handoff looks like
Request a revision record tied to the source. Test real layouts and interface limits. Do not call the result certified unless the relevant professional service and formalities actually apply.
Mistakes to avoid
Do not rely only on back-translation or label legal and medical wording expert-validated without real review. Structural checks complement language expertise.
Working example: fields to record
| Field | Illustrative entry — replace with your own facts |
|---|---|
| Source version | Approved original |
| High-risk term | Meaning needs review |
| Status | Machine-assisted not certified |
Add your own entries; the example is illustrative. Keep sensitive information private.
Sources & further checks
Official references are starting points for further checks, not approval of a specific case, product or project.
