description	Plan staged locale rollout using market/user need, translation capacity, product readiness, support/docs coverage, QA evidence, fallback, and ongoing maintenance ownership.

Locale Rollout Plan

Use when this procedure is the primary professional method needed for the assignment.

Procedure

1. Confirm the decision or outcome this work must support, its scope, owner, constraints, and definition of success.
2. Establish the evidence baseline using usage/market evidence, product string coverage, translator capacity, support readiness, and QA results. Do not fill material gaps with assumptions when they can change the result.
3. Prioritize locales with evidence, audit feature/content coverage, define quality gate and fallback behavior, coordinate release/support, and establish update cadence.
4. Exercise realistic edge, failure, transition, or exception cases that could invalidate the result; record unresolved uncertainty explicitly.
5. Validate the output against the original outcome and any neighboring professional contracts so this skill does not silently absorb another specialist's authority.
6. Record the resulting artifact, measurements, decisions, provenance, and handoff information needed for another owner to reproduce or continue the work.

Quality gate

A locale is not launched until core workflows, support paths, and maintenance ownership meet the agreed quality bar.
