QM Mode v7.0 View

By default, only QM criteria for which errors have been found are shown. To see all criteria used for the check, click icn_filter and expand the list.

The check for all paragraph-based QM criteria takes place as soon as the target text has been saved (e.g. with CTRL+S or after changing the paragraph state). The following criteria apply to the entire document (= they refer to the entire target content) and must therefore be checked with CHECK ALL:

  • .NET resources
  • Same source text - different translation text
  • Different source text – same translation text
  • Windows resources
  • XML validity
Tip

If you edit a target text paragraph for which a document-based criterion has already reported, a new check will not be performed automatically, but the error will be marked to indicate that the check must be performed anew.

QM Mode v6.3 View

QM criteria that are checked in real time are displayed separately from QM checks that you need to start manually. For this, the QM criteria are split into the Automatic and Manual categories. If only QM criteria that are checked in real time have been set for a task, the category labels will be hidden.

  • The following QM checks need to be started manually, e.g. by clicking Check Now in the context menu of the respective QM criterion:
  • Same source – different translation
  • Different source – same translation
  • Tagged XML well-formedness
  • Visual XML identical structure
  • XLIFF element validation

All other QM criteria are checked in real time.
