Hold the release
Nothing ships in another language until someone has checked it against the brief.
The word RELEASE, drawn in dust, lifts into the air on its way to becoming FREIGABE, German for release, and is held there until a reviewer signs.
The problem
Translated content goes out with the wrong terms, the wrong claims or a missing caveat.
What it would do
A release gate that holds the brief, the source, the glossary and the specification together, and records who signed off.
Who it is for
Teams that publish in more than one language.
Illustrative sceneA reviewer sees the translated claim beside the original brief and holds the release.
What it would look like
A concept interface, drawn to show what the product would do.

How it would work
- Load the brief, source, glossary and specs together.
- Flag every place the translation drifts from the brief.
- A named reviewer signs, or it doesn't ship.
Context changes the meaning
A sentence cut from what surrounded it can say something it never meant. **Add the context back and watch the meaning change.**
Translate it word for word.
