A confirmed translation is reviewed one section at a time.
Before you start
- A translated document.
- Models for Accuracy Check and Style Check.
- The brief filled in.
Section Review, comments and history
A confirmed translation is reviewed one section at a time. The Accuracy check finds five errors, including a false friend, and its fixes are accepted; the Style check's findings are partly accepted and partly dismissed. Reviewer comments and a query are added and read from the grid, and the History panel shows the draft from before a fix.
Step by step
Before you start: models for Accuracy Check and Style Check, and a brief
A review asks an AI model for a second opinion on a translation. It needs an AI model for Accuracy Check and Style Check, and it judges style against the brief, so fill that in first.
Open the confirmed translation
A translator has delivered the English of a holiday-rental guest sheet, every row confirmed. It reads well. Section 3, the house rules, is the one to review.
On the Section 3 bar, click Review this section
On the Section 3 bar, Review this section. The panel has two checks, Accuracy and Style, each run when you ask.
Click Run Accuracy check
Run Accuracy check. Does each translation say what its source says? Five findings, each with the reason and a proposed fix. Row 9 is correct and is not flagged.
Press F9 for the next finding
F9 goes to the next finding, Shift+F9 back. Row 8: actualmente means currently, not actually. The English read well; it just said something else.
Click Accept fix on each
Accept fix writes the proposal into the row. A pet ban that became allowed, a check-out time, a missing condition: all five accepted. Each fixed row drops to unconfirmed, with an amber stripe: the translator confirms it again.
Click Style, Run Style check
Style, Run Style check: the wording against the brief. Four findings: row 12 is stiff where the brief asks for warm, row 13 can simply say check out, and rows 14 and 15 want bond changed to deposit.
Accept or dismiss each finding
Accept rows 12 and 13. Dismiss rows 14 and 15: bond is the client's own word, in the glossary and in the translator's note. The check does not see the glossary, so this is your call.
Click row 14, press Ctrl+M and add a Reviewer comment
Dismiss takes no reason, so leave one. Close the panel, click row 14 and press Ctrl+M. The translator's note is already there; add a Reviewer comment beside it.
Add a Query for the translator
A reviewer also reads for themselves. Row 5 was not flagged, but the wording is worth asking about: a Query for the translator.
Rest the pointer on a comment marker to read it
A comment sits on the cell it was made in, source or target, with a marker in that cell’s top-right corner. Rest the pointer on it to read the comments without opening the panel.
Click row 8 and press Ctrl+H to see the History
Click row 8 and press Ctrl+H. The History panel keeps the draft from before the fix, Actually, marked against today's Currently. Use this target would put it back.
Check the section afterwards
Six rows fixed and reopened, amber, for the translator to confirm again; bond kept on rows 14 and 15; and two comments for the translator. The review took two calls for the section.
What a review is, and is not
Section Review checks one section against its source and the brief. It does not see the glossary or termbase, and it is an AI model's opinion: it does not replace reading the translation.
