Machine Translation Quality Estimation

Machine Translation Quality Estimation (MTQE) is an AI-powered feature that provides segment-level quality estimations for machine translation (MT) suggestions. It is similar to the quality estimations for translation memory (TM) matches and non-translatables (NT).

The instant MT quality scores help guide post-editing and can be used to enhance the default (pre-translation) analysis and to assess MT engine quality.

MTQE is available as a standalone feature for any MT engine supported in Memsource or through Memsource Translate.

Using MTQE

When enabled for an MT engine, MTQE is available in projects with this MT engine selected. If using Memsource Translate, MTQE is available in projects with Memsource Translate as the selected MT engine type.

MTQE does not support all language combinations. See Supported Language Pairs.

Analyses

With MTQE enabled, Default Analysis includes MT scores alongside the TM and NT scores. This can be turned off in Analysis options.

Pre-translation

In addition to the instant, segment-level, quality matches in the Memsource Editor, MTQE is used in pre-translation. This can be turned off in Pre-translate options.

See Pre-translate for more information.
