Assessing translation quality

A computer implemented method to assess translation quality, comprising:

• receiving, at a translation quality control system, a translated text during translation of content from a source language to a target language, wherein the translated text is associated with part of the content to be translated;
• detecting, by an online language test unit of the translation quality control system, the received translated text as an incorrect translation by analyzing a number of quality checks in a translation quality algorithm by accessing a translation quality algorithm unit and a master data repository;
• determining an error category corresponding to the incorrect translation based on a root cause defining a reason for the incorrect translation;
• incrementing a counter corresponding error category;
• and
• when the counter exceeds a threshold associated with the error category, triggering, by the online language test unit, an action to prevent submission of the translation based on a combined error score, wherein the threshold associated with the error category is displayed to a user and editable by the user via a graphical user interface (GUI) of the translation quality control system, and the combined error score is a combined weighted error score from error categories which have exceeded their respective thresholds, wherein the action comprises providing a notification to correct errors in the translation and a notification of a low quality source of the content.

A computing system to assess translation quality, comprising:

• at least one processor;
• and
• one or more memory devices communicative with the at least one processor, wherein the one or more memory devices store instructions to:
• receive a translated text during translation of content from a source language to a target language, wherein the translated text is associated with part of the content to be translated;
• detecting the received translated text as an incorrect translation by analyzing a number of quality checks in a translation quality algorithm;
• determine an error category corresponding to the incorrect translation based on a root cause defining a reason for the incorrect translation;
• increment a counter in a corresponding error category;
• and
• when the counter exceeds a threshold associated with the error category, trigger, an action by the at least one processor to prevent submission of the translation based on a combined error score, wherein the threshold associated with the error category is displayed to a user and editable by the user via a graphical user interface (GUI), and the combined error score is a combined weighted error score from error categories which have exceeded their respective thresholds, wherein the action comprises providing a notification to correct errors in the translation and a notification of a low quality source of the content.
