01

The question

Could localization review move from late screenshots to a continuous part of product development?

02

The route

I created locale-aware component fixtures, overflow detection, and side-by-side review states.

03

The outcome

The mock workflow surfaced translation and layout defects earlier in the release cycle.

04

Field note

Internationalization is a component constraint, not a final translation task.
