QA functionality in SDL Trados QA Checker 2.0

SDL Trados QA Checker 2.0, plug-in to SDL Trados 2007

Supported checks. Basic set of checks performed by SDL Trados QA Checker is rather extensive compared to other plug-in tools and may be extended using regular expressions. This tool does not allow to specify Chinese full stops as valid punctuation marks. Moreover, Arabic and even Easter European characters cannot be included into forbidden characters list. It also does not check quotation marks and number formatting.
False positives. Unlike all other tools, it generates false positives by counting skipped and empty segments as incomplete ones.
Conclusion. In general, the tool is good enough for translators who work in Trados TagEditor, but may be hard to employ in dedicated quality assurance departments where batch processing of mono- and multilingual projects is normally required.
