Catch translation issues before your users do
QACAT is Alconost's dedicated localization testing and quality assurance service, designed to catch translation issues before they reach end users. As a core offering within Alconost's professional localization suite, it serves developers, product managers, and localization teams who need to deliver flawless multilingual experiences. The core value of QACAT lies in its ability to combine human linguistic expertise with systematic testing workflows, ensuring that every localized product feels native and error-free. By integrating seamlessly into existing development pipelines, it helps global companies scale confidently across 120+ languages without compromising on quality or user experience.
Localization errors—truncated text, untranslated strings, cultural missteps, or formatting glitches—can severely damage user trust and brand reputation. These problems often slip through automated checks and surface only after launch, leading to negative reviews, support tickets, and lost revenue. QACAT directly addresses this pain point by providing structured linguistic and functional testing before release. For companies like Microsoft, TikTok, and Oracle that rely on Alconost's services, consistent quality across all markets is not optional—it's a competitive necessity. QACAT ensures that every translation reads naturally and functions correctly in context.
A key feature of QACAT is its Multi-Layer Quality Gates methodology, which applies multiple rounds of review involving both automated checks and human linguists. This workflow includes comparing translations against source strings, verifying terminology against project glossaries, and testing in actual product environments. Each gate targets a specific type of issue—from typographical errors to cultural appropriateness—ensuring nothing slips through. The benefit is tangible: fewer post-release hotfixes, higher app store ratings, and faster time-to-market for updates. This systematic approach transforms QA from a last-minute scramble into a predictable, repeatable process.
Another major feature is Continuous Localization support, which syncs translations with every code release through automated CI/CD pipeline integration. QACAT works hand-in-hand with this workflow, triggering test runs whenever new strings are added or changed. This means QA happens in real-time, not in batches at the end of a sprint. For agile teams shipping multiple updates per week, this eliminates the bottleneck of waiting for manual QA cycles. Combined with Translation Memory and Glossaries, it ensures consistency across all updates—every new translation reuses approved terminology and patterns, drastically reducing regression bugs.
