Title: How to fix false or missing warnings about punctuation marks in memoQ's QA module Description: Read this if memoQ's QA module reports warnings about brackets/parentheses or quotation marks while you have double checked that the translation contains the required number of the correct punctuation marks. This problem can be fixed with the correct QA settings. Details: memoQ's QA module contains a check to verify the correct usage of parentheses/brackets, apostrophes, and quotation marks. But if you just enable this check and start working with it, you may encounter false positive warnings (warnings while there is no actual mistake in the translation), or you may get missing warnings for actual errors. This is because this check requires careful language-specific configuration. This QA check first identifies these types of punctuation marks in the source You can enter this information in a QA settings resource attached to your project. (How to use custom QA settings, in general, is outside the scope of this article.) How to enter language-specific punctuation marks:
In the future, memoQ is likely to receive sensible default settings (at least for the most widely used languages) so that you don't need to set punctuation marks manually to make this check work correctly. (Actually, a select few languages, currently only Hungarian and French, already have such defaults in memoQ. This can actually cause confusion when you are doing QA and your current source or target language is Hungarian or French, but the other language is something else, since that way it is likely that memoQ will automatically identify the punctuation marks in one language, but not the other. For example, if you are translating from English to French, and you have | |
