About InContext QA

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.
