Accuracy that protects your brand, compliance, and timelines
The last mile of translation is often where mistakes are most damaging. Linguistic Sign-Off (LSO) is an in-context review of translated content inside its final format—web, app, PDF, or InDesign (INDD/IDML). Run after DTP, it catches issues automated QA or earlier reviews miss: truncated text, broken characters/encoding, incorrect line breaks, mistranslated UI elements, or off-brand style.
Using native, sector-specific reviewers, LSO provides documented approval against industry, legal, and brand standards—preventing rework, launch delays, and compliance risk. In context, a single UI label (“Save” vs. “Submit”) isn’t cosmetic—LSO ensures the message reads right and renders right before release.

Linguistic Sign-Off Services FAQs
How is LSO different from proofreading?
Proofreading checks language in files; LSO validates the final designed asset (web/app/print) after DTP to catch context-only issues and provide final approval.
What deliverables do we receive?
Annotated files (PDF/comments or design links), a consolidated LSO report (issues, fixes, severity), and finalized assets ready for release.
How fast is the turnaround?
Typical windows: 24–72h for short campaigns; multi-language rollouts depend on volume/pages. Rush teams available with staggered delivery.
Can you support regulated industries?
Yes reviewers with life-sciences/legal backgrounds, audit-friendly logs, and ISO-aligned QA processes for traceability and sign-off.
Which formats and environments do you cover?
PDF/INDD, Office files, web staging (CMS), app builds, and design tools (Figma/Sketch). We validate directionality, encoding, hyphenation, and UI fit.
