Translation checklist

  • Be aware of not making sentences too long

  • Do NOT translate the words “JamiiPay” or “Jamii”

  • Do NOT translate content in curly brackets {{ xxx }} and do NOT remove them. These indicate that data or a calculated value is being displayed.

App review checklist

  • Are sentences too long to fit?

  • Does the text make sense in the context?

  • Is there a better way to phrase it?

  • Are the different error messages helpful? Try to make errors on purpose, to trigger error messages.
