Mistake type score weight coefficients per specialization
- [new version] Score weight coefficient of a mistake type is the gravity of a mistake expressed by an index. For example, a stylistic mistake made in a legal translation is more considerable than the same mistake in an IT translation (a mistake with an index 1.2 impacts the score more than a mistake with an index 0.5).
Go to "System" —> "Mistake types" —> "Mistake types list" to view and edit score weight coefficients per specialization.
