High Level Goals

The Lingoport InContext QA goals are:

  • to facilitate the translation review process of internationalized applications
  • to provide a simple way to review and edit translations of an application’s string resources in Chrome

The following is not a goal of Lingoport InContext QA:

  • Lingoport InContext QA does not replace how translation is done: It is not a translation management system (TMS) and not pretending to be one.

Benefits

  • Strings to review in context: live Web app
  • No software developer involvement
  • Easy, direct interaction from reviewer
  • Automatic updates
  • Light, minimal learning curve
  • Non-intrusive

System Overview

For an on-boarded repository, the happy path looks like:

  • Resource files are analyzed by Lingoport Resource Manager (LRM) and displayed in the Dashboard
  • Resource files which need to be translated are sent to the Translation Group
  • Translated resource files are received by LRM and pushed to the repo
  • Translated resource files are instrumented
  • The application with instrumented resource files are deployed to a Linguistic QA server
  • The reviewers navigate to the deployed instrumented application
  • The reviewers submit suggestions which are captured by LRM
  • LRM handles the retranslation requests and deals with the book keeping, the automation, the metrics, etc.
