Literal translation may be unclear to the audience. Preserve technical meaning while explaining actual use.

Evaluation approach

Briefly explain terms such as root, jailbreak, attestation and app protection where necessary. Keep feature scope consistent across languages.

Application example

A translation of application-integrity checks must not become a claim to scan the entire device.

Limits and considerations

Local search demand does not justify implying unrelated features.

Has translation changed the claim?

A limited statement must not become a promise to block every threat. Track feature and condition equivalence in a form technical reviewers can check.

Checks and decisions

  • Compare meaning
  • Explain terms
  • Preserve scope
