PTC delivers context-aware translations that don’t require human review. But, you can still check translations manually at any time.
How To Review PTC Translations Manually
To review translations in PTC, navigate to your Translations tab.
Here, you will see source strings and their translations into target languages.
In this tab, you can also:
- Click the exclamation mark to report a problem with a translation — PTC will use your feedback to generate an improved version automatically
- Click the pencil icon to edit a translation manually
PTC will help you maintain quality even during edits. For example, if you edit a string with placeholders, PTC flags missing or incorrect placeholders.
Viewing Translations in PTC’s Merge Request
If you integrated PTC with GitHub, Bitbucket, or GitLab, you can also see translations in PTC’s merge request (MR). In GitLab, for example, go to PTC’s latest MR and navigate to the Changes tab to see each resource file PTC translated.
Avoid editing the merge request though, because those changes won’t be reflected in your translations in PTC.

A Faster, More Reliable Way to Review Translations
Manual string review catches issues at the text level. But some problems only appear once translations are inside your product, such as:
- A label that gets cut off by the interface
- An RTL layout that breaks
- A date format that reads incorrectly for the locale
- A string that sounds wrong next to other UI elements
Finding those issues means opening your product in every target language and reviewing it screen by screen. That takes time, and it requires people who can actually read each language.
PTC Visual QA does that review for you. It examines screenshots of your translated UI the same way a QA reviewer would. Issues in translations PTC generated are fixed automatically. For other issues, PTC flags them with a suggested fix or, when the problem requires a code change, provides a ready-to-use prompt you can apply directly.
To get started, go to the AI Visual QA tab in your PTC dashboard and submit screenshots of your translated UI.
