Two questions, two responsibilities
‘Is the translation finished?’ and ‘Can we publish it?’ sound close. They ask different things. The first asks whether a piece of work is complete. The second asks whether the people accountable for the release have enough evidence to approve it. Translation platforms answer the first question well. Horyzun exists for the second.
Fluency is part of the picture
A sentence can sound natural and still change the commitment it makes. Take a pricing line: ‘You may cancel before renewal.’ A version that says only ‘You may cancel’ has dropped a condition. Nothing about the sentence reads as an error. Reviewing the translation on its own will not reveal the change; only a comparison against the source will.
Start with what must remain true
Before reviewing, name the things that matter: the claim, its conditions, the approved terminology, and the action the reader should understand. That brief gives reviewers a shared basis for distinguishing a harmless phrasing choice from a material change. It also makes disagreements easier to discuss: which constraint changed, and why does that matter here?
Give the decision a record
A useful review connects a finding to the source and translation versions, explains the concern, and records the resolution. If a question remains open, keep it visible. The release owner can then make a decision with a clear view of what was checked and what remains uncertain. This is the independent assurance layer we are building: focused review, accountable judgment, and evidence that stays with the release.
