Transcheck

Validates translations by comparing source and translated text for inconsistencies, missing elements, and formatting issues. Helps ensure translation accuracy and completeness.

Validation Level

• Off - Disables all validation checks.

• Warning - Displays warning messages for detected issues but continues translation.

• Error - Displays error messages and pauses the translation process until issues are resolved.

Source Text Validation

Validates the source text before translation to catch potential issues.

• Non-ASCII Characters Detects characters outside the standard ASCII character set (characters beyond basic Latin alphabet and common symbols).

• Invalid CJK Characters Identifies invalid or corrupted characters in Chinese, Japanese, and Korean text.

• JPN Special Characters Detects special characters specific to the Japanese writing system that may require special handling.

• Missing Brackets Checks for unmatched or missing opening/closing brackets in the source text.

Target Text / Translation Validation

Compares source text with translated text to ensure consistency and completeness.

• Tags Validates that formatting tags are preserved in translation. Supported formats: {any}, [any], <any>

• Variables Checks that variables are properly maintained in translation. Supported formats: %any, $any

• Numbers Ensures numeric values [0-9] are correctly transferred from source to translation.

• Leading and trailing spaces Validates leading and trailing spaces match between source and translation to maintain formatting.

• Extra variable - Variable in translation not found in source

• Missing number - Numeric value present in source but missing in translation
