About TQAuditor

TQAuditor 2.0 is the system, that evaluates and monitors translation quality and allows you to:

  • compare unedited translation made by translator with edited version received from an editor;
  • generate a report about editor’s corrections;
  • classify each correction by mistake type and severity, thus allowing to get the translation quality evaluation score with a maximum 100 points;
  • ensure anonymous communication between a translator and an editor regarding corrections and mistakes classification;
  • automate a process of maintaining the evaluation project;
  • save all evaluated translations in the database and create the translation quality reports at the company:

you can create the list of top translators with the highest score, see dynamics of quality per individual translator by month, etc.
