  Current-page retention is unverified
  The evidence shows a broad locale list and language buttons, but does not show locale links or confirm that switching preserves the current page path.

  Zo los je het op
  Verify that each locale option links to the equivalent current path, not only to a locale homepage. Test switching from a non-homepage URL and confirm the path is retained.
Sitemap
Mislukt18technisch
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% zekerheid
  Valid sitemap not found
  No fetchable XML sitemap with URL entries was found at /sitemap.xml or via robots.txt.
  Hier gevonden
  Sitemap · sitemap.xml
  Wat we zagen
  robots.txt was found, but it does not reference a sitemap and /sitemap.xml was missing or empty
  Zo los je het op
  Publish a valid XML sitemap and reference it from robots.txt with an absolute Sitemap: URL.
Terminology consistency
Mislukt50taalkundig
Important concepts should not be translated differently across pages.
- infolinguistic · 92% zekerheid
  Cross-locale terminology cannot be verified
  The supplied page records are English only, so consistency of important terms across translated pages is not assessable.
  Hier gevonden
  Page content · <body>
  https://www.linkedin.com/
  Wat we zagen
  The supplied records show "htmlLang":"en" and English copy such as "Welcome to your professional community" and "Sign in"; no translated page text is provided.
  Zo los je het op
  Compare the same product concepts across the available locale pages and maintain a shared terminology glossary.
Translation accuracy
Mislukt50taalkundig
Target copy should preserve the source meaning, numbers, and product actions.
- infolinguistic · 92% zekerheid
  Target-language accuracy cannot be verified
  The evidence contains only English source copy and no translated target-language content, numbers, or product-action comparisons.
  Hier gevonden

  Provide source-and-target comparisons for each locale, including consent text and all product actions, and review them against the source meaning.
Fluency
Mislukt50taalkundig
Copy should sound natural, without grammar issues or machine-translation artifacts.
- infolinguistic · 92% zekerheid
  Localized fluency cannot be verified
  No non-English copy is included in the evidence, so naturalness and possible machine-translation artifacts cannot be assessed.
  Hier gevonden
  Main content · <body>
  https://www.linkedin.com/
  Wat we zagen
  The recorded page has "htmlLang":"en" and English headings including "Explore top LinkedIn content" and "Find the right job or internship for you".
  Zo los je het op
  Review representative copy in every target locale with native-language reviewers, including headings, buttons, and legal text.
Brand voice
Mislukt55taalkundig
Localized copy should preserve the intended tone of the source.
- infolinguistic · 90% zekerheid
  Localized brand voice is unverified
  The English source appears professional and welcoming, but no localized copy is supplied to determine whether that tone is preserved.
  Hier gevonden
  Hero · <h1>
  https://www.linkedin.com/

  Zo los je het op
  Compare localized headings and calls to action with the source tone, preserving LinkedIn’s professional and welcoming voice.
Grammar and style
Mislukt55taalkundig
Locale-specific capitalization, punctuation, formality, and agreement should be correct.
- infolinguistic · 90% zekerheid
  Locale-specific grammar and style are unverified
  The evidence exposes English content only and does not provide target-locale punctuation, capitalization, formality, or agreement for review.
  Hier gevonden
  Main content · <body>
  https://www.linkedin.com/
  Wat we zagen
  "htmlLang":"en" and "text":"Skip to main content Agree & Join LinkedIn ... Sign in Join now"
  Zo los je het op

  The English actions are visible, but no translated CTA labels are provided to confirm that the intended sign-in and registration actions remain clear.
  Hier gevonden

  Zo los je het op

Visual hierarchy
Mislukt70visueel
Localization should not make headings or CTAs lose scanability.
- lowvisual · 80% zekerheid

  A localized heading may crowd the visual hierarchy. Affects 2 sampled pages.

Worth a look (5)

Structured data
Watch84technisch
JSON-LD inLanguage should match the page locale when structured data is present.

  JSON-LD is present but does not declare inLanguage on sampled pages.
  Hier gevonden
  JSON-LD · <script type="application/ld+json">
  https://www.linkedin.com/top-content/career/
  Wat we zagen
  CollectionPage is present but inLanguage is missing
  Zo los je het op
  Set JSON-LD inLanguage to match each page locale.
Localized images and assets
Watch88visueel
Language-specific images and alt text should match the page locale.
Text overflow
Watch75visueel
Text should not clip, truncate unexpectedly, or overflow buttons and navigation.
- infovisual · 60% zekerheid
  Text overflow cannot be determined from the evidence
  The supplied DOM/text preview contains no screenshots, computed dimensions, or clipping indicators, so overflow across locales is only an informed estimate.
  Hier gevonden
  Header · <button>
  https://www.linkedin.com/
  Wat we zagen
  "buttons":["Show more","Show less","Choose a topic to learn about","العربية (Arabic)","বাংলা (Bangla)","Čeština (Czech)"]
  Zo los je het op
  Test long translated labels at supported widths and allow wrapping, resizing, or truncation only where it is intentional and accessible.
Layout breakage
Watch75visueel
Localized pages should not overlap, break grids, or overflow modals.
- infovisual · 60% zekerheid
  Layout integrity cannot be determined from the evidence
  No screenshots, layout measurements, or CSS/rendering output are provided, so overlap, broken grids, and modal overflow cannot be confirmed.
  Hier gevonden
  Page layout · <body>
  https://www.linkedin.com/
  Wat we zagen
  The evidence provides page status, language metadata, buttons, headings, and text, but no visual rendering or layout measurements.
  Zo los je het op
  Inspect representative locales at desktop and narrow widths for overlap, grid failures, and overflow in menus and dialogs.
Responsive localisation
Watch75visueel
Localized layouts should hold up across mobile, tablet, and desktop widths.
- infovisual · 60% zekerheid
  Responsive localization cannot be determined from the evidence
  The page records do not include viewport-specific screenshots or measurements, so mobile, tablet, and desktop behavior remains unverified.
  Hier gevonden
  Page layout · <body>
  https://www.linkedin.com/
  Wat we zagen
  The supplied records include "status":200, "htmlLang":"en", headings, and text, but no viewport or responsive-rendering evidence.
