Optimized TQA functionality and user experience
To streamline the workflow of evaluating translations, the Translation Quality Assessment (TQA) feature includes the following set of improvements:
- Enhanced TQAs window to quickly edit TQA items inline and toggle TQA mode ON/OFF.
- Improved flow for capturing TQAs: first review segments, then assign TQA information (category, severity, type, comments).
- Removed prompts for mandatory TQA information after making segment changes.
- Possibility to bulk-edit TQA items by applying TQA information to multiple TQA changes in one go.
- Added default TQA information: Category - Uncategorized, Severity - None, Penalty - 0. This default configuration can also be useful for marking error repetitions without applying further penalties.
- Added Replacement edit type to indicate a coordinated TQA text Deletion and Insertion.
- Various bug fixes to improve the overall TQA functionality.
Backwards compatibility
The new TQA information introduced in this release is not fully supported in previous versions of Trados Studio. To avoid compatibility issues, we recommend using TQA configurations created in Trados Studio 2021 only with the current and future Trados Studio releases.
