Review Chinese EDA interface strings, diagnostics and help text with a bilingual example, placeholder checks and related semiconductor project evidence.
View the file review example ↓Three surfaces, one vocabulary
List the interface resources, diagnostic catalogue and help files included in the Chinese request. Connect each message or control to a stable source ID and the relevant help topic. A list of English and Chinese terms alone cannot show whether a diagnostic and its explanation refer to the same operation.
For the fictional EDA_SAMPLE_001 example below, record the resource ID, the diagnostic sentence and the help-topic reference together. If the technical owner changes the meaning of “driver” in this context, review the linked wording rather than replacing that word throughout unrelated files.
Constraints that break builds
Supply a sample resource file and the engineering team’s format rules: keys that must stay unchanged, placeholders, escaping, line breaks and any stated length constraints. Preserve those rules separately from the Chinese sentence wording.
A named token such as {net_name} is an identifier, not text to translate. Whether a token may move within a sentence depends on the supplied format; positional placeholders may have different constraints. Record the applicable rule instead of treating every change of word order as a defect.
A resource-file comparison can identify changed keys or missing tokens. It cannot establish how a diagnostic renders with an actual net name, whether a font displays correctly or whether a help link opens the intended topic. Agree who will check those points in the target build.

Review one message across the Chinese interface and help
EDA diagnostic · made-up example
- String ID / source
- EDA_SAMPLE_001 · Net {net_name} has no driver.
- Chinese draft · for review
- 网络 {net_name} 无驱动源。
- Linked help / source · for review
- HELP_SAMPLE_001 → EDA_SAMPLE_001 · The diagnostic refers to {net_name}.
- Chinese help draft · for review
- 该诊断信息指向 {net_name}。
- Keep unchanged
- {net_name} · source identifier, not a translated label
- Evidence to record
- Screen reference / approved term / source revision / tested build
Review status: questions to confirm
Preserve the placeholder
Compare the token exactly with the source resource. Then check how it is displayed in the intended build.
Confirm the Chinese technical term
Review “net” and “driver” in their EDA context. Align the diagnostic with the glossary and the help topic.
Record the evidence and open question
Keep the string ID, screen, build and reviewer comment together. A plausible sentence is not evidence that the interface has been tested.

The Torex record supports Japanese-to-Chinese semiconductor documentation experience. It does not document delivery of this EDA interface or the illustrated diagnostic.
For interface content into Chinese, send source resources, screenshots or a test build, protected tokens, approved terms, help files and the required Chinese script. Confirm the source language in the inquiry; the links below cover related language and QA preparation.
Diagnostics deserve the most care
Keep the reported condition and any source-stated next step distinct. If a diagnostic only reports “Net {net_name} has no driver”, do not add a repair instruction or imply the design is ready to release. Ask the engineering owner to resolve an unclear source condition.
Return open questions with the string ID, exact source passage, proposed Chinese wording and the decision needed. After an answer changes a diagnostic, review its linked help text and any repeated message rather than silently closing the issue.
Scope the update for the Chinese receiving team
For a first Chinese version, supply the complete resource set and matching help edition. For an update, include the prior approved Chinese files, new source revision and a change list; identify obsolete resources so they do not return to the new build.
State which files need translation, which provide context, who resolves source questions and who reviews Chinese terminology. Agree editable resource return, any bilingual comparison and the available build checks in the quotation. The existing software QA checklist can record those checks without implying that a translated file has already passed them.
