### What Should Be Checked in the ULB?
In addition to the things mentioned in [Types of Things to Check](https://git.door43.org/Door43/en-ta-checking-vol2/src/master/content/vol2_things_to_check.md), the ULB needs to be checked in these areas:
1. **Idioms** - If there is an idiom in the source ULB, then that same idiom should be in the target ULB. If the idiom does not make sense in the target language, make sure that there is a Note that explains its meaning. If there is not a note for it, then write one in the Gateway Language translationNotes that explains its meaning.
1. **Figures of Speech** - If there is a figure of speech in the source ULB, then that same figure of speech should be in the target ULB. If the figure of speech does not make sense in the target language, make sure that there is a Note that explains its meaning. If there is not a note for it, then write one in the Gateway Language translationNotes that explains its meaning.
1. **Grammatical Forms** - Check to see if the grammatical forms, that is, the order of words in the sentence or the way that the words are arranged, is the same in the target Gateway Language ULB as they are in the English source ULB. If the words are arranged differently, ask yourself if they could be arranged the same as the words in the English ULB and still make good sense, or if it is necessary for them to be arranged in a different way in the Gateway Language ULB. If they would still make good sense in a way that an Other Language translator would understand, then put them in the same arrangement as in the English. If they are in a different arrangement because that is what makes sense in the target Gateway Language, then leave them in the different arrangement.
1. **Idioms** - If there is an idiom in the source ULB, then that same idiom should be in the target ULB. If the idiom does not make sense in the target language, make sure that there is a Note that explains its meaning. If there is not a note for it, then write one in the Gateway Language translationNotes that explains its meaning.

If they are in a different arrangement because that is what makes sense in the target Gateway Language, then leave them in the different arrangement.
### What Should Not Be Checked in the ULB?
It is not necessary to check the ULB for naturalness with speakers of the Gateway Language. The ULB will not be natural in some cases, because it is designed to retain the forms of the biblical languages, as far as the Gateway Language allows.
