Matecat QA with lexiQA

lexiQA (www.lexiqa.net) is a translation quality assurance (QA) tool that automatically checks translations for a wide range of potential issues, including spelling, punctuation, numbers, links, symbols, and other language- and locale-specific errors. Potential errors are identified and highlighted, allowing you to make corrections where appropriate.


How to enable QA by lexiQA?

To verify if the QA by lexiQA is enabled, go to the Editor settings tab of Matecat's Settings and make sure that QA by lexiQA is set to Active.

QA by lexiQA is available in Matecat when you work with any combination of the following languages listed in this page.


How QA works in the Translation Editor

The top bar of the Translation Editor features a QA icon that indicates potential QA issues in the translation. A circle next to the icon shows the number of issues found in the project.

If the icon displays a number, click the QA icon to open the lexiQA dashboard.

There you will find:

  • lexiQA icon reporting the number of potential errors
  • QA guide
  • QA report (takes you to the dedicated QA report page, where you can find all relevant project data)

 

Reviewing and resolving QA issues

Errors are highlighted with a specific colour code. You can hover your mouse over each highlighted area, and a pop-up will display the type of error detected.

You can:

  • IGNORE the error by clicking on Ignore if you believe no correction is necessary. This error will no longer be highlighted in the segment; you can still see all ignored errors by clicking on the QA report icon in the lexiQA dashboard.
  • CORRECT the error and confirm the translation by clicking on the Translated button. The lexiQA icon, in this case, will no longer display the error.

 

Spellchecker

Matecat has a native spellchecker powered by lexiQA. It automatically detects and highlights potential spelling errors as you type, allowing you to review and correct them directly in the Translation Editor.

 

Note: the spellchecker is currently integrated with all other lexiQA checks. To use the spellchecker, make sure that lexiQA is “Active” in the Editor settings tab of Matecat's Settings.

The spellchecker includes:

  • Real-time flags: Potential spelling errors are automatically detected and highlighted as you type within a segment.

  • Inline corrections: Clicking a flagged word opens a pop-up with spelling suggestions.

  • Smart feedback loop: When you click Ignore for a brand name, industry-specific term, or other valid word, lexiQA uses this feedback to improve its spellchecking over time and reduce unnecessary false positives.
