But have you ever stopped to think about how it&#8217;s achieved? In this article, we\u2019ll discuss quality control, the tools that can help, and what its advantages are. What is it? Translation quality control consists of error detection with the help of software tools, and this is done before it is delivered or published.&nbsp;Spelling is checked, and multiple spaces, word repetitions, punctuation errors, and terminological or numerical inconsistencies are detected. Additionally, it helps ensure that no segments have been omitted, especially in orders with a larger volume of words.&nbsp;It is, in essence, a thorough review.&nbsp; In smaller orders, the original translator conducts the quality control. However, in orders where two or more translators are completing the translation work, it may be necessary to have another professional responsible for detecting errors and unifying the terminology and linguistic conventions of the target language, such as the use of quotation marks. In these cases, an external translator or reviewer ensures cohesion and consistency throughout the text. Tools There are tools that help us during the translation process. These are called computer-assisted translation (or CAT) tools, such as SDL Trados [&hellip;]"}
