The workshop will explain how basic quality management principles apply to assessing translation and defining translation quality. We will cover the following tasks:
- Identifying the high-level and granular error types you need for specific quality tasks

- Setting up and performing a quality review using the TAUS DQF tools and the MQM Scorecard
- Interpreting the results of assessments to improve translation quality processes
