• To conceal the ignored issues, activate the Hide ignored issues option from the QA options list. Then, click on the Eye Icon (Ignore issue) corresponding to the warning you wish to disregard. Subsequently, the warning will no longer be visible on the Warning list.
  

⚠️ Please note that ignored issues will not be automatically ignored in subsequent workflows. If a specific issue needs to be disregarded in all of the file's workflows, the professional handling that particular workflow must also ignore the issue. The configuration is tied to the work unit(s), meaning that if you access the same workflow with a different user, the ignored issues will remain ignored and the visible issues will stay visible.

2. Analysis Points

Here are concise explanations highlighting the primary quality checkpoints recommended by the QA process. These points serve as key indicators to ensure the quality and accuracy of the work being evaluated.

2.1.1 Warn if narrow non-breaking spaces mismatch

Checks if there are any differences of narrow non-breaking spaces between source and target.

2.1.2 Warn if non-breaking spaces mismatch

Checks if there are any differences of non-breaking spaces between source and target.

2.1.3 Warn if glossary mismatch

Checks if there are terms in the Glossary that were translated incorrectly.

2.1.4 Warn on doubled words

Checks if there are duplicated words in the translation.

In the image above, the QA pointed out with a SUSPECT PATTERN flag that the word "State" was repeated in the target.

2.1.5 Warn if a target segment is not empty when its source is empty

2.1.6 Warn if a target segment is empty when its source is not empty

Checks if the translated segments are empty when the corresponding source is not empty.

In the image above, the check issues an EMPTY TARGET flag indicating that the translated segment is empty, but the corresponding source is not empty.

 

2.1.7 Warn if repetitions are different

2.1.8 Warn if there are potential spelling errors

Checks if there are any potential spelling errors.

2.1.9 Warn if a target segment is the same as its source

Points out the segments in which the translation is identical to the source language.

This check is only performed if the source segment contains at least one word or character, which is any Unicode letter or digit. QA issues a TARGET IS SAME AS SOURCE flag to indicate that the translation is equal to the source language.

2.1.10 Warn if whitespace mismatch

Signals the segments where the whitespaces are different between the source language and the target language.

2.2 Tags

2.2.1 Warn if there are tag differences between source and target segments

This option checks if the translation has the same tags as the source. The images below show some cases pointed out by the tool.

In the image above, the tool has issued a MISSING TAG flag to show that the linguist has not added a tag that should have been added to the target.

In this case, QA has issued an EXTRA TAG flag indicating that there is a tag in the target that is not in the source language.

2.2.2 Try to guess opening/closing types for placeholder tags

This option checks if the tags are in the correct order.

In the example above, the QA has issued a SUSPECT TAG flag pointing out that there is an atypical tag sequence in the target.

2.3 Characters

2.3.1 Warn if a character is not included in the ISO-8859-1 character set encoding

This option checks the text characters against the ISO-8859-1 character set encoding.

The tool has issued an ALLOWED CHARACTERS flag pointing out that there is an inconsistency regarding the encoding of the character set. These checkpoints to a special character (Ξ) entered in the target.

2.3.2 Warn if some possibly corrupted characters are found in the target entry

This option points out special patterns that usually indicate a file with corrupted characters. For example, a UTF-8 file opens as ISO-8859-1, etc.

This check issued a SUSPECT PATTERN flag to point to the presence of a special symbol (õ) entered in the target, indicating the possibility of corrupted characters.

 

⚠️This feature does not find all possible cases of corrupted characters, only some of the most frequent ones.

2.4 Length

2.4.1 Warn if a target is longer than n chars

By default, this option addresses segments longer than 255 characters, but you have the flexibility to insert a different number if necessary. The character count is the basis for this limit and excludes tag elements.

In the image above, the tool emitted the TARGET LENGTH tag that indicates that the target has more than 255 characters.

2.4.2 Warn if a target is disproportionately longer than its source

This option points out any target segment that is disproportionately longer than its source text.

In the image above, the tool emitted the TARGET LENGTH tag to point out that the target is much larger than the source.

2.4.3 Warn if a target is disproportionately shorter than its source

This option points out any target segment that is disproportionately shorter than its source text.

2.4.4 Warn if a source or target text unit does not fit ITS storage size property

Example xliff with annotation its-storagesize="4"

Source: 
abcXY

Target:
abcXYZ

This check will fail because target have 5 characters it is crossing limit 4
