# Translation Brief
Use when this procedure is the primary professional method needed for the assignment.
## Procedure
1. Confirm the decision or outcome this work must support, its scope, owner, constraints, and definition of success.
2. Establish the evidence baseline using source strings/content, screenshots, flows, glossary, style guide, and platform constraints. Do not fill material gaps with assumptions when they can change the result.
3. Group strings by flow, explain intent and speaker/system context, document placeholders and limits, provide references, and define how translators flag ambiguity.
4. Exercise realistic edge, failure, transition, or exception cases that could invalidate the result; record unresolved uncertainty explicitly.
5. Validate the output against the original outcome and any neighboring professional contracts so this skill does not silently absorb another specialist's authority.
6. Record the resulting artifact, measurements, decisions, provenance, and handoff information needed for another owner to reproduce or continue the work.
## Quality gate
A translator can choose meaning and tone without guessing from isolated string IDs.
