The document discusses machine translation quality estimation. It begins by outlining issues with current automatic evaluation metrics for machine translation, such as their dependence on reference translations and inability to account for the severity of errors. It then introduces the concept of quality estimation, which aims to predict translation quality before post-editing by using machine learning on examples of source texts paired with automatic translations and human-assigned quality scores. Examples are given showing quality estimation can help prioritize sentences for post-editing and select the highest quality translation from multiple systems. The state-of-the-art in quality estimation is described as using a variety of linguistic features and learning algorithms, though available datasets with human quality judgments are limited.
Back translation explained: what we do and what you get
This presentation explains the three steps in the back translation method – the quality control process applied to an already completed translation.
Step 1 translates the completed translation back into the original language.
Step 2 compares that with the original text.
Step 3 reconciles any meaningful differences between the two.
For each step we explain:
- what the objective is
- what we do
- the traps to avoid
- what documents you get
It’s your way of quickly grasping the basics of back translation.
Plus, you’ll get key insights into what should and shouldn’t be done in the process.
Which will be of great use to you in managing a back translation process – you’ll immediately know if things haven’t been done correctly!
This presentation is a highly abridged version of our all-encompassing (4,700 word) blog article – check it out at http://www.pactranz.com/blog/back-translation.
It has further detail, working examples, practical tips on managing your back translation projects, simple guidelines for when back translation is suitable and when it isn’t, and a free e-book for download.
Steps in translation process
This document outlines a 10-step quality assurance process for professional translations that includes project review, template building, glossary development, translation, copy editing, reviewer feedback, formatting, quality control, final translator review, and final delivery check. It also provides instructions for a research assignment to define 50 technical words by writing them in Spanish with their English meanings, definitions, and example sentences.
The 3 types of translation review – and when to use them
The 3 types of translation review represent different levels of quality assurance. We explain what each one is, when you need it, and how to carry it out effectively.
Professional translators should automatically do the first type – because it’s essential to produce accurate and well-worded translations. We call it a translator self-review and the process, and need for it, is drummed into translators during their translation studies.
The second type is a translator peer review – a ‘safety check’ by a second translator to confirm the translation is completely accurate and reads naturally.
The final type is a client review of a completed translation. Here a suitably qualified in-country or on-staff native speaker will review certain aspects of the translation as an additional quality review process. There are a several things to watch here and areas where things can go wrong, so some knowledge and care is required.
Our blog article explains things in more depth and has a free summary pdf you can download: https://www.pactranz.com/blog/translation-review.
And don’t miss our other super practical translation-related articles and videos – they’re all designed to help clients get better translation results.
Documentation Checklist
The document provides a comprehensive checklist for documentation development that includes gathering requirements, analysis and planning, documentation, and review stages. It details important questions to ask stakeholders like subject matter experts, project managers, development and QA teams, and clients. These include understanding the product, target audience, documentation scope and format, and establishing deadlines. The checklist also covers documentation best practices like writing style, formatting elements, and review processes to ensure quality.

Translation quality measurement2
The document discusses translation quality measurement and proposes a system for calculating a Translation Quality Index (TQI). It suggests using checklists and sampling techniques to measure errors in a translation sample. Errors would be categorized and assigned weights. The number of errors would be calculated as a percentage of the total words to determine a TQI score, with lower percentages indicating higher quality. An example TQI calculation using a 3,000 word sample with 30 error points is provided. The TQI is proposed as a standardized metric for measuring and comparing translation quality.
Translation quality measurement2
The document discusses translation quality measurement and proposes a system for calculating a Translation Quality Index (TQI). It suggests using checklists and sampling techniques to evaluate errors in a translation sample. Errors would be categorized and weighted based on importance. The number of errors would be calculated relative to the sample size to determine a percentage score, or TQI, indicating the overall quality of the translation. A higher TQI represents fewer errors and therefore higher translation quality.

A data driven approach to translation outcomes
Measuring translation quality is a persistent challenge for the localization industry. As the amount of multilingual content created every year continues to grow, translation quality becomes critical for achieving desired business goals and requires a predictive assessment at the center of the translation process.
These slides of our latest webinar "A data driven approach to translation outcomes" challenges the presumption that translation quality cannot be quantitatively measured and examines the data that is needed to improve modern translation management strategies. The unparalleled transparency made possible by data enables global brands to make shrewd evaluations of translators.
Smartling’s newly-launched Quality Confidence Score™ (QCS) is a prediction of expected accuracy based on the analysis of more than 75 behavior-based success factors. As a result, the QCS™ can identify and predict the likelihood of careless translations, and it can inspire strategic workflow adjustments based on metrics gathered and analyzed throughout the translation process, allowing customers to gain reliable and actionable insights to optimize their business in real time.

Product vs Project by Vivek Prahlad
Vivek Prahlad shares his experiences on the differences and similarities between building software in the Product and Project contexts. At ThoughtWorks, he has spent approximately half of his career on the product side, and the other half on the consulting side. While the underlying principles are similar, there are often significant differences in terms of approaches that work for products and projects. Some of the differences we'll explore include: product vs. project inception, engineering considerations, testing approaches and strategies, course corrections, and more.

Quality Assessment and Economic Sustainability of Translation
- Quality in translation is a complex issue that depends on perspectives, constraints, and expectations. It is not an intrinsic or universally defined concept.
- From an economic perspective, quality must be balanced with profitability and sustainability. Translations need to meet requirements while considering costs and resources.
- Metrics can help measure quality from different angles, but quality assessment models also have limitations. An optimal approach considers multiple factors rather than focusing only on errors.
50 shades of translation
The document discusses various translation workflows, ranging from full transcreation developed by in-language copywriters to translation by professional translators without editing or project management. It provides details on the typical projects, risks, providers, and benefits of 16 different translation options. The options are presented on a "scandal factor" scale from low to high based on their appropriateness and risks.

Manage Your Messaging with Machine-Assisted Editing and Large Scale Sentence-...
Presented by Kent Taylor at Documentation and Training West, May 6-9, 2008 Vancouver, BC
Maintaining a reasonable level of quality and consistency across all of the content that gets into your customers’ hands has always been difficult to manage. It used to be possible when the majority of the content was written by groups of professional writers, and edited by professional editors. And generally distributed in only one language - English.
Today, however, your customers get content from all manner of sources that used to be only for internal consumption, where quality and consistency was less important. And in today’s Global Economy, chances are that much of the customer facing content is translated, and distributed in more than one language, or at least to a large population of non-native speakers. This is where quality and consistency really pay off.
Using meaning-based natural language processing software, we’ve analyzed Translation Memories, Software UI Strings from very large systems, and large corpora of assorted customer facing content. And, we’ve found that nearly every set of content that we look at contains 15% to 25% redundancy, or more.
A minor irritant to a native speaker, a bigger irritant for a non-native speaker or poor reader, and a major irritant for your CFO. Every one of those variants was translated in some cases to 30+ target languages. On the average, this kind of linguistic redundancy adds 20% to the cost of translation. Put another way, if you currently translate to five languages, and could eliminate this redundancy in your source, your savings would be great enough to translate to an additional language, and open up a new market.
This presentation will discuss these and other relevant content quality issues in depth, suggest ways to deal effectively with them, and present real-world examples of companies that have ‘been there, done that.
Language Quality Management: Models, Measures, Methodologies
With growing content, shorter release dates and many target languages, it’s important for global companies to have a process in place to track and measure translation effectiveness. Learn how big companies like Microsoft, Snap-on Diagnostics and Symantec manage translation quality.

Translation Quality Assurance: what you can expect
This document discusses what clients can expect from translation services. It explains that translators rely on specialized resources like literature, glossaries, and terminology databases to accurately translate technical texts. It also notes that translators may need to ask clients follow-up questions to clarify meanings or confirm facts. Finally, it outlines the translation process as involving rendering meaning from one language to another, maintaining consistency and text function, and editing to ensure quality.
Translation Client Guidance_Part IV
The document provides guidance for clients on selecting a translation partner and managing the translation process. It outlines three key stages: before, during, and after translation. In the before stage, clients should research translators' expertise, experience, languages, price, and response time. During translation, clients should provide reference materials if available and designate a contact for translator questions. After translation, clients should obtain a glossary or translation memory and pay the translator upon receiving the final version. The overall process aims to deliver high-quality translations through clear communication between clients and translators.

The document discusses shifting the quality process in translation upstream from a confrontational review model to a more collaborative approach. It outlines the challenges with traditional post-translation quality control, including lack of context and false positives. To improve quality, the document recommends defining requirements and specifications beforehand through content profiling and style guides. It also suggests tracking error scores over time through objective assessments of translated samples rather than subjective reviews. This allows issues to be addressed proactively and improves collaboration between translators, reviewers and clients.The importance of terminology
Presented at the SDL Trados Forums 2013, these slides discuss the importance of terminology to all organizations worldwide. The slides set out to discuss the motivation for implementing terminology, how to then proceed and the results and benefits of terminology management.
