# Localization QA recipes

Check translated interfaces, locale formatting and language transitions using specified locale fixtures and approved expected strings.

Separate display language, time zone and data format. Use approved translations as the oracle instead of asking a model to invent the expected wording.

## Pages (10)

- [Verify localized ambiguous dates save the intended day](https://vostride.com/agent-library/localization/ambiguous-date-entry.md): Check a localized date field using an ambiguous day and month, confirming its saved calendar date and downstream display without timezone drift.
- [Verify currency formatting preserves amount and unit](https://vostride.com/agent-library/localization/currency-display-versus-unit.md): Test a localized sandbox price display with distinct currencies, checking symbols, fractional digits, and exact monetary units without real transactions.
- [Verify decimal-comma quantity entry preserves magnitude](https://vostride.com/agent-library/localization/decimal-comma-quantity.md): Test a localized quantity form with decimal commas and grouping separators, comparing the displayed value with the exact persisted numeric amount.
- [Verify locale switching retains an in-progress draft](https://vostride.com/agent-library/localization/locale-switch-keeps-draft.md): Test switching an application locale while editing a sandbox draft, checking that only interface language changes and unsaved content remains intact.
- [Verify localized sorting stays stable across pages](https://vostride.com/agent-library/localization/localized-sort-and-pagination.md): Check a localized directory sort with accented names and pagination, comparing the complete ordered identifier sequence with the product collation fixture.
- [Verify long translations keep destructive choices distinct](https://vostride.com/agent-library/localization/long-translation-confirmation.md): Exercise a localized sandbox confirmation with long translated labels, verifying that the safe and destructive choices remain readable and correctly bound.
- [Verify localized plural messages at boundary counts](https://vostride.com/agent-library/localization/plural-count-boundaries.md): Check a localized selection summary at zero, one, two, and a locale-specific higher count, ensuring grammar and actual selected identifiers agree.
- [Verify right-to-left layouts preserve mixed identifiers](https://vostride.com/agent-library/localization/right-to-left-mixed-identifiers.md): Test a right-to-left detail screen with Latin identifiers and numbers, checking readable ordering, correct navigation, and unchanged stored values.
- [Verify translated validation keeps user-entered values](https://vostride.com/agent-library/localization/translated-validation-keeps-input.md): Test a localized registration-like sandbox form with multiple invalid fields, ensuring translated errors map to the right inputs and recovery preserves data.
- [Verify Unicode search matches equivalent text forms](https://vostride.com/agent-library/localization/unicode-search-normalization.md): Check localized search with composed and decomposed accented text, verifying expected matches without stripping meaningful distinctions or corrupting names.

## Apply a recipe

These are test designs to adapt to an application's acceptance criteria and fixtures. They are not recorded runs or a claim that a listed application has been tested. Use the [recipe execution guide](https://vostride.com/agent-library/software-factory/turn-a-recipe-into-an-agent-qa-test.md) to author, validate, run and inspect a test.
