DTP
Document and publication QA
We check overset text, line breaks, fonts, tables, captions and page completeness. We compare layouts against the source and verify PDF exports and agreed publication requirements.
Scope of support / Production QA
Quality assurance covering the complete production deliverable.
We adapt localization QA to the content type and delivery method. Production checks do not replace linguistic approval; content queries are referred to your team or SME.
GRAPHICS
Graphic and on-screen text checks
We verify that all specified text has been localized and graphics remain readable. We check element placement, contrast, margins and style consistency across language versions.
SUBTITLES
Subtitle and synchronization QA
We check timing, line lengths, display duration, reading speed and segment completeness. We assess subtitles alongside visuals and audio using the project’s validation profile.
AUDIO
Audio and video checks
We check for omissions, repetitions, audio artifacts and alignment with the agreed material. We review editing, synchronization and language and version labels; pronunciation queries are submitted for approval.
TESTING
Functional e-learning QA
We test navigation, buttons, layers, interactions, quizzes and course flow. For LMS packages, we check agreed launch, progress tracking and reporting scenarios in the available test environment.
REPORT
Reporting and retesting
We document issues with page or slide numbers, video timestamps or reproduction steps. We agree priorities and correction status; after changes, we check both the reported issue and related elements.
CJK
CJK typesetting checks
We check Chinese, Japanese and Korean typesetting: font character coverage, punctuation, spacing and line-breaking rules. We verify localized layouts in InDesign and PDF. Linguistic matters are approved by the relevant language reviewer.
RTL
RTL typesetting checks
For Arabic, Hebrew and other right-to-left languages, we check text and layout direction, number order, punctuation and Latin-script passages. We review character joining and fonts; language decisions are agreed with the client’s team.
How we work together
Clear responsibilities. Agreed approval points.
We adapt the scope to your project. Your team makes linguistic and subject-matter decisions, while KeboDesign handles the agreed production and technical checks.

1Criteria and quote
Your team
You provide the materials, comparison source, guidelines, languages and required tests.
KeboDesign
We agree the QA scope, environments, sample or full review, reporting method, cost and deadline.
2QA preparation
Your team
You share review versions and required access and identify the content approvers.
KeboDesign
We build a checklist and material matrix. We check that versions and references are complete and comparable.
3QA and issue reporting
Your team
You answer subject-matter queries and confirm linguistic decisions.
KeboDesign
We perform visual, technical and functional checks and document reproducible issues with their locations.
4Corrections and retesting
Your team
You approve content decisions and coordinate agreed corrections on your side.
KeboDesign
We verify implemented changes. We can also make production corrections where included in scope.
5QA closure
Your team
You accept the agreed material status and any outstanding decisions.
KeboDesign
We deliver QA results, issue status and a list of completed tests, identifying the reviewed material version.
Reproducible feedback
Identifying an issue is half the job. The other half is a clear description.
Good QA feedback identifies the location, version, expected behavior and actual result. Instead of simply saying “it does not work,” we record the slide, button clicked and steps needed to reproduce the problem.
For e-learning, we record slide and interaction feedback in Articulate Review 360. For DTP, we annotate PDFs directly in Adobe Acrobat; for video, we use timestamped comments in Frame.io. Each issue has a location, description and status, making implementation and retesting easier.
Deliverables / Production QA
Materials ready for the next stage.
We agree formats and the final delivery scope in the brief. Your team receives approved deliverables with a clear handover.
QA report and issue list
Organized feedback linked to a document, scene or slide, enabling the team to identify and implement specific corrections.

What helps us plan the work?
- Materials for review, source version and target languages.
- Visual and technical guidelines and acceptance criteria.
- Access to the course, LMS or test environment where needed.
- Test scope, deadline, reporting method and designated language decision-makers.
Questions / Production QA
Let’s define the right scope of support.
Does production QA include translation proofreading?
We check materials visually, technically and functionally. We document language and terminology queries and refer them to the client’s team. Full linguistic proofreading requires a separate, agreed scope.
Can QA cover selected pages or scenes only?
Yes. We can review a sample or all the material. We document the scope and sampling method so the results are clear.
How do you check e-learning in an LMS?
We check the course visually and functionally and collect slide and interaction feedback in Articulate Review 360. Separately, we test the package in the target LMS: launch, completion, quiz scores and resume behavior. This stage requires LMS or test-environment access. For DTP materials, we annotate PDF corrections in Adobe Acrobat.
How will we receive feedback?
For DTP, we provide PDFs with Adobe Acrobat comments and annotations. For e-learning, we work in Review 360; for video, in Frame.io. Where needed, we add a consolidated spreadsheet with issue locations, priorities, correction status and retest results.
Can you also implement corrections?
Yes, if suitable source files are available and production corrections are included in scope. Content changes require approval from your team.
Is another check needed after changes?
Yes. Retesting confirms that agreed feedback has been implemented and checks the effects of changes. We quote it according to the number of versions and scope of revised elements.
