XTM Cloud 13.8

Project Editor – LQA

LQA evaluations of linguist performance on a project are recorded in the LQA tab screen.

Note

XTM Cloud Administrator or Project Manager must first enable this option for the relevant user in User Editor > Access rights > LQA.

Results are collected from LQAs that are performed in the workflow step after the step to which the linguist was assigned. LQA results are stored for linguists only when the option Yes, save result in user record has been selected from the LQA dropdown list in the Edit Workflow window.

LQA results can be displayed:

  • Per file.

  • Per language.

LQA results are presented in a table containing the following information:

  • Source language.

  • Target language.

  • Workflow step.

  • Filename – This information is displayed only in case of LQA reports per file. LQA reports per language aggregate data from all files in the relevant language combination.

  • Score.

  • Words.

  • Evaluee

  • Evaluator.

  • Test completed.

Note

The REST API method can be used to display information available in Project Editor > LQA tab. For details, see the REST API documentation: https://www.xtm-cloud.com/rest-api/#tag/Project-LQA/operation/getLqa.

Select the context menu icon ellipsis_vertical_context_menu_brand_refreshed.svg next to the relevant LQA result to display the following options:

  • Download LQA report – download the linguist LQA report in Excel format. This report evaluates the work of a particular linguist. The calculations in this report type are based on a project's Statistics. This report only lists errors made by the relevant linguist in the segments they have changed manually.

    Both evaluated and LQA steps need to be finished in XTM Workbench and all relevant segments must be set to Completed green-tick.svg for the report to be generated. Additionally, Linguists must stay assigned to both evaluated and LQA steps even after the LQA step has been finished.

    This report displays the following information for the relevant project:

    • Evaluee.

    • Evaluator.

    • Severity multipliers.

    • Word count.

    • Issue types.

    • Weight of the LQA errors.

    • Issue count.

    • Penalty.

    • Target subscore.

    • Total score.

  • Download extended report – download the extended Linguist LQA report in Excel format.

    Both evaluated and LQA steps need to be finished in XTM Workbench and all relevant segments must be set to Completed green-tick.svg for the report to be generated. Additionally, Linguists must stay assigned to both evaluated and LQA steps even after the LQA step has been finished.

    In addition to information displayed in the standard LQA report, this report contains the Extended table tab with these column headers:

    • ID – Segment ID.

    • Source – Source text.

    • Target – The final version of the target text with information who completed it and when.

    • LQA errors – Type and severity of an error and the workflow stage at which it has been reported.

    • Comment.

    • Corrector changes – Changes made to the target segment by the user assigned to the next workflow step.

    • Last revision – Changes made to target segment after rollback to the translate workflow step.

  • Delete - remove an item from the list.

    Notice

    This option enables you only to delete the relevant report from the user interface. It will not cause the deletion of LQA errors listed in the report. These errors will still be stored on server and can be listed in another LQA report.

    To delete LQA errors from the server, in XTM Workbench, delete relevant LQA errors from the LQA docked panel. For details, see Deleting LQA errors in XTM Workbench.

    After the project revision, the Per language report will be overwritten with the new data. In case of the Per file report, a new report with changed data will be generated in addition to the previous one.
