QA Check质量检查
A QA check is an automated or semi-automated review that verifies translation consistency, terminology use, numbers, inline tags, placeholders, punctuation, and spelling against project-specific settings. It is typically run within a CAT tool or standalone QA application after translation and editing, before delivery, to catch technical and basic linguistic errors such as mismatched tags, missing placeholders, or changed numerical variables.

Where this term appears
QA checks run in the final stages of translation projects, using predefined profiles in CAT tools or QA software. Linguists, project managers, and localization engineers review the results, resolving issues such as untranslated segments, forbidden characters, tag mismatches, and terminology noncompliance before final delivery; the output often feeds into language quality assessment.
Translation checks
A common mistake is relying on QA checks to catch all translation errors. Automated checks miss context errors, false friends, register shifts, and awkward wording, and they can generate many false positives if the profile is too strict; ignoring project-specific settings may also let serious technical defects pass, such as broken variables.
Keep the term aligned across your files
Creative and consumer content needs accurate meaning as well as tone and context. Subtitles, interfaces and voice scripts also require checks for timing, character limits and pronunciation.
Provide approved terms and previous translations with the source files. Agree how variants, ambiguous wording and revisions will be reviewed. Terminology maintenance and any termbase handback are confirmed in the project scope. See the 8-step AI + expert workflow.
