Bring approved specifications, brand rules, existing Chinese and English material, image rights and the name of the person who can confirm local commercial facts. Product variants and support arrangements should be identified before a designer or writer adapts them. ## Keep factual and language decisions separate We build a short glossary and claims register, then adapt the selected pages, forms or campaign assets. A bilingual review can compare the intended meaning, while the product owner confirms specifications and the sales owner confirms the purchase or enquiry route. Disagreements are recorded rather than hidden in the final wording. Review also covers units, document names, contact details and confirmation messages. An accurate headline is not enough if the following form sends a local buyer into an unexplained international process. ## Test the local task An acceptance example is a customer locating the relevant local variant, understanding who provides support and finding the appropriate enquiry route. Reviewers should be able to trace each material product claim back to an approved source and identify who will update it when the product changes. ## Check one claim across every customer touchpoint Take one statement about availability or support and trace it from the source document to the product page, advertisement and enquiry response. Record who can confirm each local variation before adapting the wording. For a wider identity and message change, consider [brand localisation](https://webvelopment.co.za/cn/solutions/brand-localisation/); for page production, use [website design](https://webvelopment.co.za/cn/services/websites/website-design/). [Send a source page and its intended local use](https://webvelopment.co.za/cn/contact/) to define the approval task. ## Localisation questions A few useful answers before you decide. ### Does localisation include every African language? No. Languages and suitable reviewers must be agreed; we do not imply universal regional language support. ### Is bilingual review the same as native editorial approval? No. Terminology and factual consistency checks are distinct from a native-language editorial review, which needs an appropriate reviewer and an explicit step. [Discuss a localisation scope](https://webvelopment.co.za/cn/contact/) with the source material, local variant and customer task you need to support. ## Maintain one approved meaning across the journey Consider a proposed local product launch where the Chinese source document describes several variants but only one will be offered initially. The localisation package should identify the applicable version, remove unsuitable claims and align the page, form and follow-up message. A fluent translation that still refers to unavailable products does not pass that review. A useful handover includes the glossary, approved claims, unresolved questions and the owner of future changes. The buyer should encounter consistent information from the first campaign to the receiving sales conversation. Measure the work against comprehension and factual consistency; do not treat the number of translated words as proof that the local customer journey is complete. ## Questions about language and local meaning A few useful answers before you decide. ### Which source document takes precedence when versions disagree? Agree a source of truth and an approval owner before drafting. The team should not guess whether the latest brochure, spreadsheet or sales slide is authoritative. Conflicting specifications are returned for a product decision, and the approved resolution is recorded so later edits do not recreate the disagreement. ### Can a brand slogan remain unchanged? Sometimes, if the brand requires it and the surrounding content still explains the offer clearly. Localisation does not mean changing everything. The review should identify where consistency adds recognition and where literal wording prevents understanding, then provide a reasoned adaptation for the appropriate approver rather than silently altering the identity. ### Do units and documents need separate review? Yes, where they affect the buying task. A product page, technical sheet and enquiry response should refer to compatible measurements and versions. Conversion or technical interpretation needs confirmation from the product specialist. Renaming a document without checking its contents can leave customers downloading information that contradicts the page. ### How are local customer questions incorporated? Collect recurring questions from the authorised sales or support team and map them to the relevant journey stage. Some need a page explanation; others belong in qualification or a later consultation. We do not insert every internal sales detail into public copy, especially where the information is sensitive or not approved. ### What happens after a product changes? Establish a notification and review path linking the source owner to the local content owner. The register should identify affected pages and assets, not merely the changed document. Ongoing updates require an agreed responsibility and scope; a launch localisation project does not automatically keep all future product information current. ### Can we test understanding before publishing? A scoped review can ask suitable participants to identify the product, explain the offer and choose the next step. Participant selection and native editorial approval are explicit work items. Observations may reveal ambiguity, but a small review is not a representative market study or a guarantee of customer response. Keep exploring ## Keep the right things connected.
