QA Checker Studio 2015: Extra blank spaces detected generates tons of false positives

Hello!

If both source and target contain one or several tags surrounded by single white spaces, the QA checker seems to ignore the tag in the target and gives an alert for extra blank spaces although there are no multiple white spaces present:

Is this a known bug or is there any way to tweak the settings to avoid such false positives (short of re-creating the feature with a regex myself)?

Thanks a lot in advance for any suggestions!

Kind regards,
Raphaël

  • Hi Raphaël,

    I have tried to reproduce this problem and can't.

    Can you send me a file that does this so I can take a look?

    Thanks

  • Hi Paul,

    and thanks for the quick reaction!

    I'll have to check if I can share the complete file, but here a concerned TU (source file is .mif), if ever that helps in the meantime:

    <trans-unit id="e1a53030-f7d7-4e36-8f90-c4ddf5bb5948"><source>17 <g id="430"><x id="431" /></g> 7 1/2J</source><seg-source><mrk mtype="seg" mid="107">17 <g id="430"><x id="431" /></g> 7 1/2J</mrk></seg-source><target><mrk mtype="seg" mid="107">17 <g id="430"><x id="431" /></g> 7 1/2J</mrk></target><sdl:seg-defs><sdl:seg id="107" conf="Translated" origin="source"><sdl:rep id="INwzG6f69pfquVd3PcCHolDEEb4=" /><sdl:prev-origin origin="tm" origin-system="TMC_Om_en-GB_fr-CA" percent="100"><sdl:rep id="INwzG6f69pfquVd3PcCHolDEEb4=" /><sdl:prev-origin /><sdl:value key="created_by">TEST1\Administrator</sdl:value><sdl:value key="created_on">07/20/2016 15:52:52</sdl:value><sdl:value key="modified_on">07/20/2016 15:52:52</sdl:value><sdl:value key="last_modified_by">TEST1\Administrator</sdl:value><sdl:value key="SDL:OriginalTranslationHash">-1655577323</sdl:value><sdl:value key="SegmentIdentityHash">INwzG6f69pfquVd3PcCHolDEEb4=</sdl:value></sdl:prev-origin><sdl:value key="created_by">TEST1\Administrator</sdl:value><sdl:value key="created_on">07/20/2016 18:29:06</sdl:value><sdl:value key="modified_on">07/20/2016 18:29:06</sdl:value><sdl:value key="last_modified_by">TEST1\Administrator</sdl:value><sdl:value key="SDL:OriginalTranslationHash">-1655577323</sdl:value><sdl:value key="SegmentIdentityHash">INwzG6f69pfquVd3PcCHolDEEb4=</sdl:value></sdl:seg></sdl:seg-defs></trans-unit>

    Nice end of the day,

  • Hi Raphaël,

    Doesn't really help me... better to see a file. Maybe you can mock one up if this is a generic problem for you?

  • Hello Raphael and Paul,
    I confirm this behavior Raphael. The QA Checker just does not cope with tags. It seems to remove them from the segments before launching the checks, regex inclusive. That's why I'm afraid you won't get any positive answer.
    Paul, I just created the same XML as you, and I get 4 notes/warnings/errors. Can you check your settings? Have you tried with F8?

    Kind regards
    Sébastien
