Seven checks before shipping AI-translated Chinese in your game.

1. Protected tokens and markup

Compare variables, tags and escape sequences exactly. A natural sentence is still broken if the runtime token disappears or changes name.

Search both files for formats such as {name}, {{count}}, %s, \n, HTML/rich-text tags and engine-specific commands.

2. Numbers, prices and percentages

Extract and compare every number before judging style. Check currencies, decimal separators, units, cooldowns, damage ranges, percentages, dates and version numbers.

A changed “15%” can affect gameplay or commerce even when the surrounding Chinese is grammatically perfect.

3. Player-input instructions

AI often compresses “hold,” “tap,” “double-click,” “release,” or “while moving” into a generic press action.

Keep the input token in its protected format and verify the action state separately.

4. Context-sensitive nouns and verbs

Review short strings in screen or gameplay context. “Relay” may mean a race, an electrical component, a message handoff or a relay station. “Save” may be a verb, a noun or a goalkeeper action.

Do not approve isolated strings solely because the dictionary meaning is possible.

5. Terminology consistency

Create a small term list before reviewing the full file. Track character names, factions, resources, abilities, locations, item tiers and repeated verbs.

One English term should not drift across several Chinese translations unless the context deliberately changes.

6. UI length and line breaks

Review the file and the interface separately. Check buttons, narrow inventory columns, subtitles, controller prompts and text embedded in art. A correct translation can still overflow, wrap over an icon or hide the action word.

Never add manual line breaks without knowing how the target UI renders them.

7. Added promises and intensity

AI-generated Chinese may add words such as “best,” “perfect,” “guaranteed,” “luxury” or “zero risk” to make marketing copy sound stronger. Compare every superlative with the approved source, especially in store pages and paid-item descriptions.
