Defining quality criteria

Before beginning the LQA process, it is essential to establish quality criteria that are appropriate for the specific type of content being evaluated. This may involve developing a customized checklist that outlines the specific errors and quality metrics that will be assessed during the review process.

Selecting qualified reviewers

Once the quality criteria have been established, it is necessary to select qualified reviewers who have the necessary linguistic and subject matter expertise to evaluate the content accurately. This may involve recruiting in-house language experts or working with external language service providers.

Performing quality checks

The reviewers will evaluate the translated content based on the quality criteria established in the first step. During this phase, they will identify any errors or inconsistencies in the translation, including misspellings, grammatical errors, incorrect terminology, formatting errors, and other issues.

Providing feedback and recommendations

After the quality checks have been completed, the reviewers will provide feedback and recommendations to the translation team, including specific suggestions for how to correct any errors or improve the overall quality of the translation. This may involve identifying areas where additional training or resources are needed to improve the translation process.

Implementing corrections

Based on the feedback and recommendations provided by the reviewers, the translation team will implement corrections to the translation to improve its quality. This may involve making revisions to the translation, updating translation memories and glossaries, or providing additional training to translation team members.
