Run a Transcheck Report

Use a Transcheck Report to verify target segments and identify a variety of common errors within segments in the translated files. You can run a Transcheck Report on one or more languages or files in a project.

  Best Practice:

If you have specific terms you want Transcheck to ignore, you can mark those segments for exclusion in the Transcheck Report using the Transcheck All action. This reduces false positives during Transcheck error detection. Refer to Use Transcheck All.

To run a Transcheck Report:

  1. In the Current Project view, click Transcheck Report on the Project Files tab.
  2. On the Project Transcheck dialog, select one or more languages or files.
  3. To select the Transcheck Tests you want to conduct, click the underlined Preferences > Transcheck path name in Transcheck Tests. This link opens the Preferences dialog where you can configure the preferred settings for each Transcheck.
      Note:

    Consistency checks are accessible through the Project Transcheck dialog. Or click on the Sidebar, then click Transcheck under Current Project Preferences.

    1. Source Consistency — Use to search for segments with the same target translation, but with different source segments.

    2. Target Consistency — Use to search for segments with same source segments, but with different target translations.

    Select the appropriate check boxes to ignore differences such as case, numbers, tags, and white space for source and target file consistency checks. Click OK to return to the Project Transcheck dialog.

  4. Enter the Report Name and browse to select the Report Location folder, or accept the default settings.
  5. (Optional) If you want to enable the Glossary or Blacklist checks, select the location of the Glossary or Blacklist from the list on each tab.
  6. Click Run Transcheck.

    A Report Summary is saved to the chosen location. Once complete, a Transcheck report finished message displays with the number of segment errors found, if any.
