Technical Documentation for Localization Debt | Farflow

Use this as a working brief: what “great” looks like for Technical Documentation when Localization Debt is the primary lens, and which risks to eliminate early.

Risks we actively prevent

Thin templates, duplicate metadata, and “infinite URL” traps are common when scaling pages. For Localization Debt, we bias toward unique intros, varied section emphasis, and FAQ patterns that reflect real objections—not copy-paste blocks.
