Translation Quality Score by Smartcat is a type of quality assurance software. It provides automatic, objective measurement of AI translation quality within the Smartcat Language AI platform for any language pair by issuing a score between 0-100. It highlights words or segments of text that need particular attention for editing to improve quality. ### How can I measure translation quality with Smartcat Translation Quality Score? TQS issues a macro quality measurement score from 0-100 to provide an overall indicator of quality level. It also enables you to see quality on a micro level by focusing on text on a segment-by-segment basis and highlights text that requires the attention of a reviewer in particular in order to improve quality further. ### How can I improve translation quality with Smartcat Translation Quality Score? TQS tells you the exact quality level of your AI translation. This insight helps you to understand if it is good enough already or if it requires further work in the form of reviewing and editing. TQS also saves you review time by highlighting the specific sections that require quality assurance attention from an expert linguist. By addressing and amending any errors or unsatisfactory translations in these highlighted segments, the overall quality of the translation increases. ### How is TQS an integral part of your translation quality assessment and translation quality checklist? TQS is a convenient way to get an immediate understanding of the level of quality of each AI translation, in any language pair. It analyzes a translation by comparing the source and target languages and assesses the translation for faithful rendering of the meaning of the source language. It is often impossible to gauge the quality of a translation, especially if nobody on your team or in your company speaks the target language. For unusual language combinations, such as Japanese into Norwegian, it is even more difficult. As a result, TQS can be especially useful in providing quality assurance insights with an exact quality measurement score from 0-100 and highlighting specific translation segments that require closer attention for review.
