Reviewing files in Assess Quality mode

TQA works similarly to Tracked Changes: it highlights changes, but it also allows the user to add metadata to each change to give specific feedback on the quality. This metadata is captured in TQA configurations.

About this task

Review translations by adding Translation Quality Assessment (TQA) items that use the metrics from the project's TQA configuration.

As you add TQA items to indicate translation issues, Trados Studio adds up the penalty points corresponding to each issue type. If the Pass/Fail threshold is reached, the TQA icon on the status bar changes to a crossed out pen. This shows that translation does not meet the quality level set in the TQA configuration.
