Complete an LQA pass before a software release

Practice the sequence you already learned for “Complete an LQA pass before a software release” until the order feels automatic. Practice GALA / localization-QA order from l10n training. The build is not signed off until strings are frozen, linguistic QA is scored, and bugs are triaged.

1. Freeze the English source.
2. Freeze the string IDs.
3. Import translations into the build, not a side spreadsheet.
4. Run linguistic QA on the taught sample and severity scale.
5. Log truncation, placeholder, and meaning bugs.
6. Fix blockers.
7. Re-QA those strings.
8. Do not ship a locale that failed the blocker threshold.
