The LISA Method Calculation Grid is an interactive tool designed to help users understand how translation quality is evaluated using the LISA QA method. This structured approach ensures objective assessment, providing clear metrics for identifying errors and determining whether a translation meets industry standards.
The grid allows users to simulate translation evaluations by adjusting error values across different categories. A sample of 5,000 words is preloaded as an example, but users can modify this value to test different scenarios.
Testing Error Severity & Impact
To explore how errors affect translation quality:
- Start by entering 1 in the “Minor” error column under the “Consistency” category.
- Continue adding errors in other columns to observe how different values impact the total error score.
- Monitor the results to see whether the translation passes (GREEN) or fails (RED) based on the accumulated error points.
The system automatically calculates whether the translation meets the acceptable error threshold or fails due to excessive mistakes.
Reset & Experiment with Different Scenarios
At any time, users can click the CLEAR button to remove all entered values and start a new evaluation. This feature allows for multiple test runs, helping users gain a deeper understanding of translation quality control.
