Make sure everything goes according to the translations that are provided for you.
Center text properly into bubbles using the correct font and size.
Match the English SFX as closely as possible to the RAW SFX.
ALWAYS typeset over any uncleaned SFX because the Quality Checker WILL clean them.
ALWAYS SAVE IN PSD [EASIER for the Quality Checker to FIX errors]
Make a note of MISSING TRANSLATIONS (if there are any).

You don't have to be perfect. Relax and try your best
