[WEBINAR RECORDING] Quality is Measurement

Improving translation quality processes with quality metrics and data visualization

One of the greatest challenges in the translation industry is to measure something that is known to be subjective. Three ingredients are needed to "track" translation quality: an evaluation metric integrated into a review or CAT tool, a database to collect measurement data and a dashboard to visualize the data.

In this webinar, we will see how these three components are aligned to form the backbone of VMware's quality management process.

In this webinar you'll learn:

• How to use the TAUS DQF to improve process and quality in the enterprise;
• A solution to change a costly, subjective review process into a data-driven, cost-effective one.
• How sample-based review can actually work on a large scale;
