A translated image can look polished while containing the wrong meaning, a malformed glyph, altered product detail or an impractical line break. Linguistic and visual quality assurance must be treated as separate checks.
What is an image translation QA checklist?
It is a pre-publication review of the language, rendered typography, reconstructed image, factual content and delivery file. It helps identify issues; it does not certify a translation or guarantee compliance.
Who should use it?
Localization reviewers, product teams, marketers and content owners should use it after every generated image. High-impact product, safety, legal or regulated copy requires qualified human and domain review.
Linguistic checks
- Meaning, tone, terminology, names, numbers and units are correct.
- Spelling, punctuation, grammar and capitalization suit the target language.
- CJK glyphs, Arabic shaping and right-to-left direction, Hindi shaping and diacritics render correctly where relevant.
- No source-language text was missed unless intentionally excluded.
Visual checks
- Line breaks, hierarchy, alignment and readable size work in the available region.
- Font appearance and effects are suitable even if an exact font is unavailable.
- Old letters, patches, repeated texture or invented marks are absent.
- Objects, faces, products, logos, dimensions, crop and framing match the intended source.
How is QA different from choosing Quality mode?
Quality is a processing choice for complex layouts and small text. QA evaluates the actual output from either Fast or Quality. A higher-detail mode never removes the need for a native-language reviewer.
What should you do next?
Compare source and result side by side, ask an authorized target-language reviewer to approve the wording, then publish only when both linguistic and visual checks pass. Return to Translate Text in Image if regeneration is appropriate.
