Handling automated verification checks

If enabled in the workflow, the Automated QA Check task runs after a completed Translation task or a completed Linguistic Review task. Learn how you can handle the verification messages which result from the Automated QA Check task.

About this task

The Automated QA Check runs as many times as it has been configured in [workflow_name] > Automated Translation QA Check / Automated Linguistic Review QA Check > Configure > Number of QA Check returns.You can specify as many QA Check loops as needed.
  • If you enter the 0 value in the Number of QA Check returns field, then the Automated QA Check task runs once, but does not return the task back to Translation or Linguistic Review even if errors are detected.
  • If you enter a value equal to or higher than 1 in the Number of QA Check returns field, then the Automated QA Check task runs as many times as specified, and returns the task back to Translation or Linguistic Review if errors are detected. The maximum value you can enter is 2 billion.
  • If you select the Return until no QA Check errors check box, the Automated QA Check task runs as long as errors are found, irrespective of the number specified in the Number of QA Check returns field.

Automated QA Check settings are specified under [project_name] > Open > Settings > Configuration > Verification.

Files are rejected automatically, namely sent back to the previous workflow task, if any error specified as part of Verification > Automated QA Check settings is identified as part of the Automated QA Check Translation task and the Automated QA Check Linguistic Review task. Files are not rejected automatically, namely sent back to the previous workflow task, if they exceed the TQA threshold (if TQA is available).
