Pseudo-localization

Also called: Pseudo-locale

Replacing text with longer, accented fake text to find untranslated strings and truncation early.

Definition

Android and Xcode offer pseudo-locales. Any plain English text that remains is hard-coded, and anything cut off will break in long real languages.

In practice

'[Þļåçé öŕðéŕ !!!]' instead of 'Place order' shows the button is too narrow.
