Ledger 01 / Promise

Ukrainian localization kept on one ledger, from source string to sign-off.

We localize interfaces, product descriptions and marketing content for Ukrainian readers in Kyiv and beyond. Every string is tracked: English source, draft, reviewed Ukrainian, and the QA note that changed it.

Redline Draft 03 dropped the "few" plural form. Corrected in review and locked in the glossary before hand-off.

Ledger 02 / Interface strings


Every string gets a row, a character limit, and a reviewer.

Buttons, error messages, empty states, placeholders and plural counters are the cheapest place for a Ukrainian release to break. Each line below is a specimen from an approved ledger: source English, reviewed Ukrainian written here in Latin transliteration, and the constraint that decides whether it ships.

String ID Source EN Reviewed UA Constraint
ui.btn.save Save changes Zberegty zminy 14 char limit
ui.err.required This field is required Tse pole obov'yazkove gender agreement

ui.plural.items {n} item / {n} items {n} tovar / tovary / tovariv / tovaru 4 plural categories

Chips in proofing red mark a correction that changed the string. Approved terminology is flagged with the green rule instead, and no string closes until the term list and the QA note agree.

Ledger 03 / Product copy

Product descriptions, redlined before they reach a Ukrainian storefront

Each product line passes through three states: the English source, a drafting pass, and the reviewed Ukrainian string. Reviewers settle plural categories, gender and case agreement, character limits and approved terminology, then record the reason beside the change so the next release inherits the decision.

  • 96-character cap
  • Genitive plural
  • Gender agreement
  • Term approval

  1. 1 Approved term: matove pokryttia. The adjective agrees with the neuter noun, which the draft left masculine.
  2. 2 12 takes the genitive plural, so prystroiv, not prystroi.
  3. 3 Button width capped at 140 px, so the possessive was dropped and the shorter form approved against the client glossary.
  4. 4 Empty state rewritten to the phrasing already approved across the catalogue.

Ledger 04 / Marketing tone samples

Three registers, one approved voice

A procurement lead, a retail shopper and a developer read the same product differently. Each row pairs the source intent with the register we approve for Ukrainian, plus the note that anchors the decision.

Tone is approved per string, not per document. No sample promises rankings, revenue, or a perfect translation.
