Assessing translation quality in SDL Online Editor
You can assess the quality of a translation in two ways: either at a segment level or inline, in the actual text of the translation. In both cases, you need to specify an error type and severity from the WorldServer quality model applied to the project to which the task belongs.
Procedure
- Open the appropriate asset in SDL Online Editor.
- On the Assessment tab, in the Translation Quality Assessment group, click Show TQA.
- Add a segment-level assessment by doing the following:
- Place your cursor in the target area of the segment that you want to assess.
- On the Assessment tab, in the Translation Quality Assessment group, click Assess Quality.
- In the Quality Assessment pane, place your cursor in the Add quality assessment box, and then, if necessary, type a comment.
- In the Category list, select the appropriate error type from the WorldServer quality model applied to your project.
- In the Severity list, select the appropriate error severity from the WorldServer quality model applied to your project.
- Click Add.
- Add an inline assessment by doing the following:
What to do next
To save the feedback to WorldServer and have it displayed in Browser Workbench, complete the step and make sure that the task goes through the Save Online Asset step. In Browser Workbench, quality assessments are displayed as placeholders and you cannot modify them.
