Reviewing UI in Somali

UI Somali fails in public: truncated buttons, harsh errors, and empty states that sound like machine leftovers.

I review strings in context — preferably on staging or annotated screenshots. Length, wrapping, and mixed-script issues show up only on the real layout.

On-screen QA habits

Consistent verbs across “Save”, “Continue”, and “Submit” reduce cognitive load.

Walk primary flows: onboarding, submit, settings, and the top five errors. Spot-checking random keys is not enough.

Book a UI review pass with AfriNative before release. Small string fixes prevent large trust problems.
