⚠️ In case of any false warnings, the linguist can ignore these QA Checks. They are not mandatory to deliver or complete any workflow. The QA Tool will not prevent the user from completing a task if the user decides to ignore any or all warnings. The QA Tool will only provide the user with some guidance on possible issues within the translated content so the user can make the required amendments.
