Настройки контроля качества

The main aim of quality assurance (QA) checks is to help you efficiently handle different language-specific aspects in translations and ensure they are formatted the same way as the source strings and will fit the UI just as well. Some typical QA check issues include missed commas, extra spaces, or typos.

With QA checks, issues that should be fixed will be highlighted on the Proofread workflow step. QA checks help to detect some common mistakes easily and quickly. It’s recommended to review and resolve all QA check issues before building your project and downloading translations.

Configure QA Checks

By default, QA checks are enabled. To select the needed QA checks in your project, follow these steps:

  1. Open your project and go to Settings > Quality assurance.
  2. Select the QA check types according to your preferences.
  3. For each selected QA check type, select whether it should be possible to save translations with QA issues using two available options: Error and Warning.

    Warning – the system notifies translators about the QA issues with suggestions on how to fix them, but it would still be possible to save the translation using the Save anyway button.
    Error – the system notifies translators about the QA issues with suggestions on how to fix them. It wouldn’t be possible to save the translation until all QA issues are fixed.

Spell Checker Ignore List

If your project contains some uncommon words that are not recognized by the Spell checker, you can add them to the Ignore list to exclude them from being checked.

To review the words added to the Ignore list for the Spell checker, follow these steps:

  1. Open your project and go to Settings > Quality assurance.
  2. Click Ignore list on the top right side.
