Needs attention (3)

Locale routing
Fail72technical
Localized pages should use a consistent URL structure and resolve successfully.
- mediumtechnical · 90% confidence
  Only one locale signal detected
  The sample found little evidence of multi-locale routing (hreflang, locale prefixes, or html lang variety).

  Sampled pages · document
  https://govinsider.asia/intl-en
  What we saw
  Detected locale signals: en
  How to fix it
  Publish additional locales through locale URL prefixes, hreflang alternates, and matching html lang tags.
Sitemap
Fail72technical
Like Lighthouse: a valid XML sitemap must be discoverable, robots.txt should reference it with an absolute Sitemap: URL, and localized URLs should appear for published locales.
- hightechnical · 100% confidence
  robots.txt does not reference the sitemap
  A sitemap is reachable, but robots.txt does not include a Sitemap: directive pointing to it.
  Found here
  robots.txt · Sitemap:
  https://govinsider.asia/sitemap.xml
  What we saw
  Reachable sitemap https://govinsider.asia/sitemap.xml is not listed in robots.txt
  How to fix it
  Add "Sitemap: https://govinsider.asia/sitemap.xml" to robots.txt.
Visual hierarchy
Fail55visual
Localization should not make headings or CTAs lose scanability.
- lowvisual · 80% confidence
  Heading is excessively long
  A localized heading may crowd the visual hierarchy. Affects 44 sampled pages.
  Found here
  Page body · heading
  https://govinsider.asia/intl-en
  What we saw
  More funding and a refreshed Green Mark to drive Singapore’s built environment forward Seen on 12 pages, e.g. https://govinsider.asia/intl-en, https://govinsider.asia/intl-en/articles, https://govinsider.asia/intl-en/videos
  How to fix it
  Shorten the heading so it does not crowd the visual hierarchy.

Worth a look (8)

Translation accuracy
Watch88linguistic
Target copy should preserve the source meaning, numbers, and product actions.
- infolinguistic · 58% confidence
  Translation equivalence cannot be fully verified
  The evidence contains only English pages and no source/target comparison, so preservation of translated meaning cannot be confirmed beyond the visible copy.
  Found here
  https://govinsider.asia/intl-en
  What we saw
  "locales":["en"]
  How to fix it
  Provide corresponding source and localized page content for direct meaning and number comparison.
Fluency
Watch78linguistic
Copy should sound natural, without grammar issues or machine-translation artifacts.
- mediumlinguistic · 91% confidence
  Search label is concatenated
  The repeated label "Search for contentSEARCH" reads as an unedited or mechanically concatenated interface string.
  Found here
  Header · <button>
  https://govinsider.asia/intl-en
  What we saw
  "buttons":["Menu","Topics","Search for contentSEARCH","+1","REGISTER NOW","Leadership"]
  How to fix it
  Separate the visible search prompt from the search action, for example by adding spacing or using a single clear label.
- lowlinguistic · 91% confidence
  Awkward headline construction
  The headline "An infrastructure-first approach as key to scaling public sector AI" is grammatically awkward in English.
  Found here
  Headlines · <h2>
  https://govinsider.asia/intl-en
  What we saw
  "An infrastructure-first approach as key to scaling public sector AI"
  How to fix it
  Revise the headline to a natural construction such as "An infrastructure-first approach is key to scaling public sector AI."
Grammar and style
Watch82linguistic
Locale-specific capitalization, punctuation, formality, and agreement should be correct.
- mediumlinguistic · 89% confidence
  Concatenated interface text affects presentation
  The search control combines two words or labels without spacing, which is inconsistent with polished interface style.
  Found here
  Header · <button>
  https://govinsider.asia/intl-en
  What we saw
  "Search for contentSEARCH"
  How to fix it
  Correct the control markup or localization string so the prompt and action are separated and punctuated consistently.
- lowlinguistic · 89% confidence
  Page title appears as an implementation label
  The document title "Filter Icon" does not describe the visible page content and may be an unintended component label.
  Found here
  Document head · <title>
  https://govinsider.asia/intl-en
  What we saw
  "title":"Filter Icon"
  How to fix it
  Set each page title to a meaningful, content-specific title rather than the component label.
Cultural adaptation
Watch88contextual
Currency, dates, addresses, and local examples should fit the market.
Localized images and assets
Watch88visual
Language-specific images and alt text should match the page locale.
Text overflow
Watch84visual
Text should not clip, truncate unexpectedly, or overflow buttons and navigation.
- lowvisual · 68% confidence
  Potential label overflow or concatenation
  The visible string "Search for contentSEARCH" suggests adjacent interface text may be running together; actual clipping or overflow cannot be confirmed without a screenshot or computed layout.
  Found here
  Header · <button>
  https://govinsider.asia/intl-en
  What we saw
  "Search for contentSEARCH"
  How to fix it
  Inspect the rendered control at supported widths and correct the spacing, wrapping, or label markup.
Layout breakage
Watch88visual
Localized pages should not overlap, break grids, or overflow modals.
Responsive localisation
Watch86visual
Localized layouts should hold up across mobile, tablet, and desktop widths.

lowcontextual · 84% confidence
Search CTA wording is unclear

Found here
Header · <button>
https://govinsider.asia/intl-en
What we saw
"buttons":["Menu","Topics","Search for contentSEARCH","+1","REGISTER NOW","Leadership"]
How to fix it
