lexiQA helps you detect localization errors. With lexiQA, you can reduce the time spent on the LQA process, and reduce labor costs for manual QA checks.
Prerequisites
lexiQA is a paid add-on available for Professional and Enterprise plans.
lexiQA works in localization Grid with dependencies for all language pairs set up. Check out the list of languages supported by lexiQA.
Install lexiQA add-on
- Click theicon in the top right corner to open the Integrations modal.
- Select lexiQA.
- Click Subscribe and confirm.
- Click Install and confirm.
Run lexiQA
- In a Grid, click theicon on the right-side toolbar.
- Select lexiQA settings (optional).
- Select source language and target languages.
- Click Run Auto QA by lexiqa. It might take some time depending on the data volume.
Showing errors
There are different types of errors highlighted in different colors. When lexiQA runs successfully, the errors will be highlighted in the Grid. Use the switches in the bottom right corner of your Grid to toggle the display of error types.
Hover over the highlighted parts to check the details of the error. Click Ignore this error if you do not want this to be highlighted anymore.
With some special warnings like spell checking (module “d1g”), you will get replacement suggestions in a tooltip.
Check statistics
Open the lexiQA on the side panel then select the Statistics tab.
In the Statistics tab, you can check the language pair, last updated, and total errors in each language pair. The statistics will be shown for each language pair, so you can run lexiQA in each language pair or run it all at once.
Re-run lexiQA
After adding new records to your Grid, you need to run lexiQA again to apply the check to new records. Open lexiQA from the side toolbar in the Grid, and click Run Auto QA by lexiqa.
Note
Re-runs do not apply to existing records if there are no changes in the source data. Gridly only bills new (and amended) records for re-runs.
