Translation Quality Research
]project-open[
collaborates with Ph.D. candidate Przemek
Mieszkowski in the definition of best practices in Translation
QC. This collaboration has already lead to the ]po[
Translation
Quality Module software.
Our research focus lies with the adoption of industrial quality
management techniques such as Total Quality Management (TQM), Six
Sigma, Statistical Process Control (SPC), the ISO 900X models and
many more to the practial needs for the customers of translation
services and the translation agencies that provide the services.
These efforts have already lead to the definition and development
of the ]po[
Translation
Quality Module module.
Current Research Questions
Our current research activities focus around several questions:
- What are the best practices for statistical quality management
in the translation industry?
- There seem to exist several de-facto quality levels in the industry.
How can we identify and quantify them?
- Only a small fraction of translation companies seem to use statistical
quality control in their daily operations. What are the reasons
for this situation and how would the adoption of these technologies
be improved?
If you are interested in one of these questions please
contact us and let us know.

Research Links
- The LISA QA model has been
developed around 1995 and is the definitive standard in translation
quality assurance.
- The LISA
QA model 3.0 is the latest version of the QA standard. Unfortunately,
LISA hasn't published the contents of their model publicly.
