Localization Brief

Q: How do I know the Localization Brief output is good?

The skill verifies itself against its own quality checks: Distinguishes translate vs. adapt vs. rebuild per element — not "translate everything"; Covers formats, imagery, payments, legal, and SEO — not just UI strings; Region (not just language) is specified where it changes things; Priorities are sequenced to the goal (market test vs. full launch).

Plan the localization of a product/content for a new market — beyond translating the words. Use when asked to localize a product, plan market entry localization, prepare a localization brief, or figure out what to adapt for a new region. Produces a brief — target locales, what to translate vs. adapt vs. rebuild (UI, content, formats, imagery, payments, legal), priorities, and the risks/cultural pitfalls.

What to give it

▸The product / content — and the target locale(s) (language + region — fr-FR vs fr-CA matters).

▸What it is — SaaS UI, marketing site, app, docs, campaign — sets what needs adapting.

▸Goal & depth — testing a market (light) vs. full local presence (deep).

▸Known constraints — budget, what's already internationalized (i18n-ready or not).

✅ The bar it holds itself to

Every skill in this library self-verifies — these are this skill's own quality checks, straight from its definition.

✓Distinguishes translate vs. adapt vs. rebuild per element — not "translate everything"

✓Covers formats, imagery, payments, legal, and SEO — not just UI strings

✓Region (not just language) is specified where it changes things

✓Priorities are sequenced to the goal (market test vs. full launch)

✓Names the specific cultural/regulatory pitfalls for this market

✓Includes native + in-market review in the QA plan

⚠️ What it refuses to do

Do not equate localization with translation — payments, legal, formats, and imagery decide whether it feels native

Do not ignore region — fr-FR ≠ fr-CA, es-ES ≠ es-MX; the variant changes copy, formats, and norms

Do not localize SEO by translating keywords — research how locals actually search

Do not skip local payment methods — the best-localized UI converts nothing if they can't pay how they pay

Do not launch without in-market native review — machine/relay translation misses the embarrassing stuff
