Specifying inconsistencies for QA Checker

Use the QA Checker 3.0 > Inconsistencies settings to specify what checks are run as part of the QA Checker verification. This option allows you to check for inconsistent translations and repeated words.

Before you begin

Make sure the QA Checker provider is enabled. To enable QA Checker, go to File > Options > Verification and select the QA Checker 3.0.

Procedure

  1. Choose where you want to specify the settings.
    • To specify verification settings for your active project, go to Project Settings.
    • To specify verification settings for your active project but only for a specific language pair, go to Project Settings > [source language] - [target language] language pair.
    • To specify verification settings for all future projects, go to File > Options.
    • To specify verification settings during batch tasks, go to the Projects view or the Files view, select Batch Tasks, choose a batch process and go to the Settings page.
    • To specify verification settings in a project template, create a project template by going to the Projects view selecting Create Project Template from the Ribbon, then specify verification settings in the Project Template Settings dialog. You can also edit an existing project template.
  2. Select Verification > QA Checker 3.0 from the navigation tree.
  3. Select Inconsistencies from navigation.
  4. Select the Check for inconsistent translations checkbox to identify identical source segments which have different translations. When the QA check results are displayed in the Messages window, the identical source segments are listed and the first translation found is displayed.
    1. Choose an option from the drop-down list, to apply a severity level to inconsistent translations: Error, Warning and Note.
    2. Select the Ignore tags checkbox to regard translated text as identical, even when inline tags differ. For example, "This is a <b> test </b>" will be considered the same as "This is a test".
    3. Select the Ignore case checkbox to regard translated text as identical, even when capitalizations differ. For example, " Run a Concordance search" will be considered the same as "Run a concordance search".
  5. Select the Check for repeated words in target checkbox to identify words that are repeated in the target segment. If a repeated word is found, the second instance of this word is reported.
    1. Choose an option from the drop-down list, to apply a severity level to inconsistent translations: Error, Warning and Note.
    2. Select the Ignore numbers checkbox to exclude numbers from repeated word checks.
    3. Select the Ignore case checkbox to regard translated text as identical, even when capitalizations differ. For example, " Run a Concordance search" will be considered the same as "Run a concordance search".
  6. Select the Check for unedited fuzzy matches checkbox to identify the TM fuzzy matches which have not been edited.
    1. Choose an option from the drop-down list, to apply a severity level to inconsistent translations: Error, Warning and Note.
    2. Decide whether you want the search for unedited fuzzy matches to occur for Confirmed segments only or for All segments.
    3. Select the Only check if match scores below checkbox to ensure that only fuzzy matches below the percentage specified here are reported. If you do not select this option, all fuzzy matches (everything below 100) are reported. Specify a percentage in the right-hand side box.
