Everything You Need to Improve your Quality System Now! (Part 1)

Learn how to improve your translation quality with various easy tools. Learn how to view and check terminology in glossaries or in exported translation memories. Learn how to check consistency between glossaries and TMs. Also, discover powerful QA functions and QA features that can be used on an 'ongoing translation' (i.e., edited files) against a TM and glossary and learn how to quickly identify any mismatches. Numerical mismatches will be covered too.

Freelancers starting in the translation industry, Experienced Freelancers who want to improve their QA process, Outsourcers who want to produce better content through a better QA system, Project Managers, Agency Owners and anyone interested in quality assessment of translaitons in general.

In this session, students will learn how to use various tools to:

- look up words during translation : no more checking of Excel glossaries or having MultiTerm running in the background!
- combine lookups with Internet searches for a given term!
- analyze changes made, edit, proofread, and review your work;
- run QA checks such as:
- checking for adherence to terminology,
- spotting untranslated segments,
- spotting inconsistencies in target/source segments,
- making sure that products names are not changed
- spotting tag and numeric mismatches,
- checking quality of TMs (e.g., checking for duplicates, untranslated segments, inconsistencies),
- matching terminology between TMs and glossaries.

No prerequisite, but it can be easier to follow this course if you've studied my course on the life cycle of a translation project.
