Translation accuracy
Fail88linguisticTarget copy should preserve the source meaning, numbers, and product actions.
Translation equivalence cannot be fully verified
The evidence contains only English pages and no source/target comparison, so preservation of translated meaning cannot be confirmed beyond the visible copy.

How to fix it
Provide corresponding source and localized page content for direct meaning and number comparison.
Fluency
Fail78linguisticCopy should sound natural, without grammar issues or machine-translation artifacts.

Grammar and style
Fail82linguisticLocale-specific capitalization, punctuation, formality, and agreement should be correct.
Concatenated interface text affects presentation
The search control combines two words or labels without spacing, which is inconsistent with polished interface style.

"Search for contentSEARCH"
How to fix it

How to fix it

How to fix it
Shorten the heading so it does not crowd the visual hierarchy.
Text overflow
Fail84visualText should not clip, truncate unexpectedly, or overflow buttons and navigation.
Potential label overflow or concatenation
