ContentQuo Evaluate MT

Human evaluation is valuable indeed but it is nor fast or cheap if you outsource it to trained professionals, which is what we do at CPSL. In this sense, moving from spreadsheets to ContentQuo has been a big leap for us.

All our professional evaluators prefer ContentQuo over spreadsheets, and our customers benefit from the speed with which we can send our proposals and scalability helps us keep evaluation costs within budget.

Where does it fit in my MT workflow?

Most companies implementing Machine Translation run human quality evaluation after they are satisfied with automatic quality metric values — e.g. on shortlisted engines when selecting an engine mix, on newly retrained engines when assessing training results, or on post-edited translations on a regular basis to identify recurring errors that could be fixed with training. ContentQuo Evaluate MT makes it easy, fast, and efficient.

Plays nicely with your existing toolset

We recognize that linguistic quality programs don’t happen in a vacuum: there are all sorts of other localization tools you or your clients are already using in order to produce localized content. This is exactly why we made ContentQuo interoperable and standards-based.

Upload any XLIFF, Excel, CSV, or TMX

All popular XLIFF varities from most popular CAT and TMS tools can be read and written by ContentQuo. Other bilingual formats like XLSX can be read, with per-project column configuration. 20+ file formats!

Import existing offline quality scorecards

Have been doing LQA in spreadsheets for years? ContentQuo can import all of those, so that you don’t lose any of those precious quality KPIs and can centralize them from day 1.

Read XLIFF revision history or compare versions

We import change history automatically from supported XLIFF flavors like Trados or memoQ. If unavailable, you can always ask ContentQuo to compare 2 file revisions and find changes.

Pull data in and out of your TMS automatically

Through our TMS integrations, we can synchronize your user accounts, projects, and translation jobs into ContentQuo - and also make changes in your TMS when certain conditions are met.

Write all modified translations back into XLIFF

For easily updating your TM after an LQA or mock post-editing sessions, ContentQuo records all the changes done to translated text back into your bilinguals so that you can import them into TM
