LocaleQA / deterministic release checkpoint

Catch preventable localization file failures before clients or builds do.

Upload source and target JSON, run explicit non-linguistic checks, and export report artifacts that stay stable for identical input.

Input

JSON only

Clear scope for v1. No normalization or hidden transforms.

Engine

Deterministic

Identical scan input yields identical result artifacts.

Output

Client-safe reports

HTML, PDF, ZIP, and shareable read-only review surfaces.

Session state

Ready to scan

A temporary local session will be created automatically when you run your first scan.

Workflow

Scan sequence

Load source and target

Keep the reference payload and localized payload explicit.

Apply a fixed rule set

Deterministic checks only. No linguistic guesses or inference.

Review and export

Hand off stable HTML, PDF, JSON, and ZIP artifacts.

Account state

Current access

Scanning is open during the current pre-billing phase.

LocaleQA will create a temporary local session on first scan so private reports stay tied to this browser.

Deterministic checks

4 enabled

Key parity: missing in target

Flags when a source string key/path does not exist in target.

Key parity: extra in target

Flags when a target string key/path does not exist in source.

Placeholder integrity

Checks placeholder preservation on intersecting string paths.

Tag preservation

Checks tag preservation on intersecting string paths.

Whitespace drift: leading

Flags when leading whitespace count differs between source and target.

Whitespace drift: trailing

Flags when trailing whitespace count differs between source and target.

Whitespace drift: line endings

Flags when line ending style differs (lf/crlf/mixed) between source and target.

Whitespace drift: internal runs

Flags when max internal run of spaces/tabs differs (excluding leading/trailing).

Glossary exact match

If a glossary term appears in source, it must appear in target (exact, case-sensitive).

Glossary controls

Exact-match terms

One term per line. Case-sensitive. Terms must appear unchanged in the target.
