Integration with Translation Quality Assurance (TQA) in Trados 2015

Henk Boxma

Hi all,

Does anyone know if we can access the TQA functionality via the SDK? We would like to collect all information that the user enters and store it. Currently, this information is only available in Studio itself.

We had a look at various resources, but did not find any information about this. Perhaps someone could put us in the right direction? Your help is much appreciated.

Best regards,

Henk

    Hi Romulus,

    is there already a roadmap attached to this? Most importantly it would be great if there was an AutomaticBatchTaskTemplate to generate the TQA reports automatically. Would it be a workaround to create a custom batch task and run this? How would that work using the APIs? Could you give me a hint for it? Much appreciated :)

    On another note - slightly off-topic - but still: is there any plans to have TQA-changes applied in the SDLXLIFF file survive in the target DOCX file should the source format be DOCX? That would be very useful, I am aware that the TQA-changes merely look like tracked changes in Studio, so I can understand if it is technically not feasible to convert them to track changes when creating the target DOCX file, but I still wanted to ask ... ;-)

    Many thanks!

    At the moment there is no roadmap for any TQA API. Q1 next year we will release the Batch Task API that will allow custom batch tasks to be implemented. Now since the TQA API is not available there will be no access to the report but you can create a custom batch tasks that reads the tqa info from the sdlxliff and then create your own type of report.

    Word is not able to store metadata for track changes which limits the context information. We started a discussion internally about this to see if this is something it make sense to be built.
