Correcting errors in TQA Mode

As translators, you may receive a file containing translation quality assessment (TQA) items back from review. These are suggested changes that reviewers make in TQA mode, using custom quality metrics specified in a TQA configuration. You can accept or reject these changes in order to update your translation file with the suggestions from the reviewer.

Reviewing reported TQA items

In the Translation Quality Assessment report

To see a detailed analysis on the TQAs available in one or more files, go to Home tab > Batch Tasks > Translation Quality Assessment > Finish. This generate a Translation Quality Assessment report in the Reports view.

The report shows general details about the files and whether your initial translation passed the TQA check. The reports also details the translation issues that the reviewer indicated using the TQA configuration attached to the project.

In the TQAs window

You can quickly review the translation quality assessments created for the current project file in the TQAs window. The TQAs window is always present in the Editor view, unless you close it completely. To display the TQAs window, go to View tab > TQAs.

Click once on a TQA in the list to navigate to it in the side-by-side Editor. Double-click a TQA in the list to open the Edit Translation Quality Assessment dialog box where you can change the category, severity and comment of the TQA.

In the Complete Review/Complete Sign-Off dialog box

For files open for review or sign-off, you can select Complete Review or Complete Sign-off to get an overview of all TQAs in the document.

The Complete Review/Complete Sign-Off dialog enables you to make an overall evaluation of the document. Here you can also override the Pass/Fail result that SDL Trados Studio calculated automatically based on the TQA configuration available for your project.
