Description: Check translated text before you make a language available to customers.

# Review translations

Some translated text needs a person to check it before it is published. Review keeps your product language consistent and gives your team a chance to correct unclear wording.

## Review a translation

1. Open **Review** for your project.
2. Compare the original and translated text.
3. Choose **Approve**, **Reject**, or **Use source**.

Approving accepts the translation. Rejecting keeps it out of the published language. Use source keeps the original wording for that message.

For wording changes, use [Edit strings](/docs/use-linguana/edit-strings). Saving creates an accepted human version and prepares eligible catalogs. Viewers can read; editors, admins, and owners can make decisions.

## What to check

- Names, numbers, and placeholders still make sense.
- Links and emphasis appear in the right place.
- Product terms follow your glossary.
- The translation matches the surrounding screen.

<ExpectedResult>
The item leaves the review list after a decision. Approval or source fallback records an accepted replacement version. A clear review queue is one readiness check; required missing or rejected strings can still prevent a catalog from becoming ready. Publishing remains a separate action.
</ExpectedResult>

## Failures

If a decision is not saved, check that you have editor access and try again. Do not edit stored language files directly.

## Next

Publish the result with [Publish a language](/docs/use-linguana/publish-language).
