How to compare human translation vs MT?

Hi.

I'm reviewing files by multiple translators and some are submitting mix of MT results.

What I would like to do is:

1. create a version of XLIFF with target populated with MT results.

2. Run a comparision of XLIFF created above vs. XLIFF submitted by a translator

3. Generate a track-change style report that shows revisions to MT translator made if possible. If not, a match percentage of the two targets (MT vs human) would be helpful.

This is what I've tried, but failed.

I tried creating two projects in Trados using the same source file.

Populated Project 1 with MT results.

Project 2 contains the submission by human translator.

Tried to run SDLXLIFFCompare, but I'm getting this error.

Error message in Trados Studio indicating the inability to locate the corresponding file for an export operation, with file paths shown.

The comparison doesn't need to be within Trados.

If there's a way to get track-change style comparison or match percentage, I can export targets to Excel file, but basic Excel functions can only check if two columns are a match or not.

Any ideas would be appreciated.
