Pitfalls

1. Context Matters — Always provide context for accurate translation
2. Review Critical Content — Machine translation for legal/medical needs human review
3. Glossary Maintenance — Keep glossary updated for consistency
4. Character Limits — Some languages expand (German) or contract (Chinese)
5. Cultural Adaptation — Direct translation may not convey same meaning
