  • Translations below quality threshold – This QA check is in Beta. It is AI-driven and based on XTM's proprietary NLP framework. This check is supported for all variants of these languages. The NLP mechanism compares the translation entered by a Linguist with an AI-driven translation. The default quality threshold is set to 40%. To customize the threshold value, use the text field to the right of the Translations below quality threshold label. You can type in the relevant value or use the caret up and down icons caret-up-solid.svgcaret-down-solid_black.svg to set it. In XTM Workbench, a QA warning is triggered for every Linguist-translated segment whose quality is below the quality threshold. Linguists see the Translation Quality Evaluation score and up to three of the most important factors that influenced that score. When they correct the translation, the TQE score is recalculated. If the new translation meets the required threshold, the QA warning is no longer displayed. If the new translation is still below the threshold, updated suggestions about what should be improved are displayed.
