Topic: QC with Language Tool Box (LTB)
Poster: Annett Roessner
Hello,
I recently worked on a translation for an agency using a CAT tool called Lingotek.
As part of the QC for the translation assignment I was asked to generate a LTB report in a tool called Language Tool Box (LTB). This process in itself was already quite cumbersome: I had to generate an XLIFF file from Lingotek, load the correct LTB configurations from a Zip file and load my XLIFF file into LTB to run the QC report.
Of course there were some minor issues (typos, extra spaces) that needed fixing.
This was very time consuming because as far as I could tell the report didn’t indicate the segment number. So if I had to correct an extra space for a certain segment I had to manually find the segment in Lingotek. This was very time consuming because even when I searched for words that the segment in question contained in Lingotek, I would more often than not not get any results. The document was more than 10,000 words long. Therefore, the whole QC process took a lot longer than in SDL Studio or any other CAT tool I used in the past.
So, my question is: Is there anything I am missing here, i.e. is there an easier way to find segments in Lingotek that we’re flagged in the LTB report?
Thank you,
Regards,
Annett
