Mistake 1: Translating too late

Teams that localize only at the end often face major UI issues. Start localization in design phase for smoother releases.

Mistake 2: Ignoring hidden and edge-case text

Forms, tooltips, empty states, and error messages are easy to miss but heavily affect user trust in global markets.

Mistake 3: Skipping context review

Literal translations may be technically correct but wrong in product context. Review high-impact copy before handoff.
