PurpleBlossom.ai — Spanish Translation Testing Guide

What Is This Document Set?

This is a collection of guides for testing the Spanish (Mexican Spanish / es-MX) translations in the PurpleBlossom.ai web application.

PurpleBlossom.ai is a business growth platform designed for solopreneurs — people who run their own business alone. The platform provides tools for business coaching, campaign creation, storytelling, learning content, and a supportive community, all guided by an AI assistant called "Blossom."

The platform has been built in English and then translated into Mexican Spanish. These guides will walk you through every screen in the application so you can verify that the Spanish translations are natural, correct, complete, and culturally appropriate for Mexican Spanish speakers.


Testing Goal

Your job is to go through every screen of the application and verify that:

You are the expert on how this should sound. If something feels wrong, awkward, or confusing, it probably is. Trust your instincts.


Area Guides

Each guide covers one area of the application. Work through them in order, starting with the Getting Started guide.

Dashboard The main dashboard screen that appears after you log in
Business Profile The business profile wizard with its 11 sections
Campaigns Creating and managing marketing campaigns
AI Hub The AI assistant area with 4 different personalities

Settings & Modals User settings, persona selection, notifications, login screens, and guided tours

What to Look For

When testing each screen, watch for these types of issues:

1. Untranslated Text

Any text that still appears in English when the application is set to Spanish. This is the most basic issue — everything the user sees should be in Spanish.

2. Awkward or Unnatural Phrasing

Text that is technically correct Spanish but sounds unnatural, robotic, or overly literal. The translation should sound like something a Mexican person would naturally say, not a word-for-word conversion from English.

3. Truncated Text

Spanish text is often longer than the English original. Sometimes this causes text to get cut off, overflow its container, or overlap with other elements. Watch for words that end abruptly or text that runs off the edge of a button or label.

4. Incorrect Grammar or Spelling

Misspellings, wrong verb conjugations, incorrect gender agreement, missing accents, or any other grammatical errors.

5. Inconsistent Terminology

The same concept should be translated the same way everywhere. For example, if "campaign" is translated as "campana" in one place and "campana de marketing" in another, that is inconsistent. Note both places so we can decide which is correct.

6. Cultural Inappropriateness

Idioms, humor, or tone that do not work for Mexican Spanish speakers. The application should use "usted" or "tu" consistently (not mixing them). The level of formality should feel appropriate for a professional business tool.

7. Date, Number, and Currency Formatting

8. Raw Placeholder Text

Sometimes you may see text like {{name}} or {count} appearing on screen instead of being replaced with actual values. This is a technical bug — report it with the exact text you see.


How to Report Issues

For each issue you find, please record the following:

  1. Screen name — Which screen or area of the application (use the guide names above, e.g., "Dashboard," "Business Profile section 3")
  2. What you see — The exact text that appears on screen
  3. What is wrong — Describe the problem (e.g., "still in English," "awkward phrasing," "text is cut off," "wrong accent")
  4. Suggested fix — If you know what the correct text should be, write it down
  5. Screenshot — If possible, take a screenshot showing the issue

You can organize your findings in a simple list or table. Here is an example:

Screen Text Shown Problem Suggested Fix
Dashboard "Welcome back" Untranslated "Bienvenido de nuevo"
Sidebar "Herrami..." Text cut off Make button wider or shorten to "Herramientas"
Campaign form "Seleccione su campana" Missing tilde "Seleccione su campana" with tilde on the n
