# Learning Translation Quality Assurance

Assess and validate the quality of translated educational content for pedagogical equivalence and accuracy.

## When to Use

- Validating professional translations
- Quality control for localized curriculum
- Ensuring pedagogical accuracy across languages
- Maintaining terminology consistency
- Measuring translation effectiveness

## Quality Dimensions

### 1. Pedagogical Equivalence

**Beyond Linguistic Accuracy**:
- Do learning objectives translate effectively?
- Are explanations equally clear?
- Do examples work in target culture?
- Is cognitive load equivalent?
- Are scaffolding and hints preserved?

### 2. Terminology Consistency

**Educational Vocabulary**:
- Subject-specific terms used consistently
- Pedagogical terms standardized
- Assessment terminology aligned
- Glossary compliance

### 3. Educational Accuracy

**Content Integrity**:
- Mathematical/scientific accuracy maintained
- Historical facts culturally appropriate
- Technical precision preserved
- Citations and references validated

### 4. Readability and Level

**Age-Appropriate Language**:
- Reading level matches original
- Sentence complexity equivalent
- Vocabulary difficulty calibrated

## CLI Interface

```bash
/learning.translation-quality --source "course-en.md" --translation "course-es.md" --glossary "terms.json"
```

## Output

- Quality score (0-100)
- Pedagogical equivalence report
- Terminology issues flagged
- Readability comparison
- Recommendations

## Exit Codes

- **0**: Translation quality acceptable
- **1**: Critical quality issues
- **2**: Pedagogical equivalence compromised
