My company followed localization and internationalization best practices during development, should we still do testing before getting our resource files translated?
Unless you have done some formal testing, you should consider testing before your resource files are translated. Pseudo translation testing does not take much time; but it may save you a lot of time. For example: a single defect in pseudo testing will substantially multiply with the number of languages that you localize into if it’s not corrected before testing. Considering the cost of a defect in its lifecycle, avoiding duplication is always a smart business decision.
